RUFC – Head-to-Head v Shrewsbury

The Shrews are the visitors at Don Valley this weekend and here are the head-to-head stats of our games with them

The last time Shrewsbury played the Millers at Millmoor was in November 2007. The game ended with a two-nil victory for the home side with Ryan Taylor and Derek Holmes getting the goals. The game was played in front of 3,832 fans and Carl Boyeson, the referee, had a quiet game as he didn’t show a card that day.

The first time the two teams met in the League was way back in the 1950/51 season, in the Division Three North. Rotherham won both games that season.

This season, the Millers visited the Prostar Stadium in December and the Shrews won the game one-nil with a goal from Grant Holt. The ref was G Horwood and he sent off two Millers players – Drewe Broughton for a second yellow card and ‘keeper David Stockdale for a professional foul that also gave away a penalty which Holt scored from.

It’s ironic really that we should be playing Shrewsbury this weekend as it was thirteen years ago last Tuesday (the 14th) that we beat them at Wembley in the Auto Windscreen Shield 2-1.
