Ryan Lockley led the batting for the Cats with an impressive 71 while established Shropshire senior XI star Steve Leach and Joe Clarke both scored 35 in a total of 235.

But the hosts responded strongly, reaching their required total for the loss of seven wickets with seven overs remaining.

Charlie Morris (2-39), Matt Gregson (2-35) and debutant Daniel Lloyd (2-53) did their best to keep Cheshire at bay but it proved to be in vain.
