Wrexham plunged closer to non-league football as local rivals Shrewsbury secured their first win in 16 games.

A long ball from Colin Murdock was headed in by Kevin McIntyre after a dreadful error from keeper Gavin Ward.

The Dragons succumbed to another short range header, Darren Moss unchallenged on the end of Marc Tierney's cross.

Ward saved a Dave Hibbert penalty after Simon Spender's foul on substitute James Constable, but the replacement followed up to complete the rout.
