LUDLOW will aim to take a step closer to Midlands 2 West (North) survival this weekend when they play eighth place Shrewsbury.

Ludlow had a free weekend last week, but prior to their recent loss against Old Saltleians, had won back-to-back matches to have the advantage in the relegation run in.

Norman Stalker’s side are one point above second from bottom Stafford with three games left.
