The London Road side beat hosts Walsall by five wickets in the semi-final.

Sam Griffiths (3-22) and Jack Garmson (2-25) helped restrict Walsall to 139-8 before brothers Rob and Ed Foster fired them to victory with half-centuries.

But Shrewsbury were then shot out for just 52 on their way to a nine-wicket defeat by Barnt Green in the final.
