Alex Rodman and Shaun Whalley on target as Shrewsbury progress

Shrewsbury booked their place in the third round of the FA Cup with a comfortable 2-0 home win against League Two strugglers Morecambe.Alex Rodman and a Shaun Whalley penalty in five first-half minutes were enough for the high-flying Shrews to advance to the third round .Rodman went close to opening the scoring in the second minute after the winger cut inside and saw his low shot come back off the near post.Shrewsbury were on top and had to remain patient to break down the stubborn Morecambe defence but Rodman made the breakthrough when he turned in Whalley's inviting cross in the 32nd minute.Whalley doubled their advantage five minutes later after he converted his spot-kick after goalkeeper Barry Roche brought down Jon Nolan.Roche saved well from Louis Dodds as Shrewsbury went in search of a third in the second half as Garry Thompson tested home goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray from distance at the other end.Morecambe substitute Callum Lang had a late chance to give the visitors hope but he was unable to find away past MacGillivray, who denied the forward with a smart save.
