Bristol Rovers 3-1 Shrewsbury
Richard Walker scored twice and Sammy Igoe added a third as Bristol Rovers came from behind to beat Shrewsbury 3-1 in the League Two play-off final.Stuart Drummond gave Shrewsbury a great start with a glancing header which opened the scoring in the third minute, but the Pirates were soon back on terms through Walker, who netted from close range before a precisely weighted chip left Shrews goalkeeper Chris MacKenzie despairing and Rovers in front by half-time.
Shrews winger Marc Tierney was sent off by referee Michael Jones following a late challenge on Stuart Campbell in the 88th minute which earned him a second yellow card and Town's misery was completed when Igoe slotted deep into injury time.
