Shropshire's Development XI rounded off their season with a two-wicket defeat against Cheshire at Barnton yesterday.

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.
