Worfield are relegated from the Birmingham League

Worfield will be plying their trade in the Shropshire County Cricket League next season after losing their Birmingham League survival fight.

Their relegation from Premier Division Two was confirmed following an eight-wicket loss to fellow strugglers West Bromwich Dartmouth on Saturday, ending a five-season stay in the league.

After winning the toss and electing to bat, Worfield's top order failed to fire as they slipped to 72-7.

Shahrukh Khan (52) and Ravan Chahal (45) then led an impressive fightback by putting on 114 for the eighth wicket as the visitors were bowled out for 207.

But that total failed to seriously test the hosts as Danny Cox (62no) and Bruce Thomason (78) shared an opening stand of 108.

Ateeq Javid then added an unbeaten 45 to see Dartmouth home in the 36th over.

The victory secured Dartmouth's Birmingham League status and sent Kidderminster down with Worfield.

Shifnal will be looking to secure a third placed finish in Premier Division Two this weekend.

With the top two places already claimed by Attock and Berkswell, Shifnal can finish best of the rest with a victory at Leamington on Saturday.

And they will make the trip on the back of an exciting two-wicket success at home to Wolverhampton, which was clinched with two balls to spare.

An excellent 110 from Sri Lankan pro Rishin Upamal, plus useful contributions from Will Neild (50) and Reeve Evitts (49) helped the Black Country side to 295-8.

Jack Twigger was the pick of the Shifnal attack with figures of 4-49.

The hosts' victory chase was then led by former Worcestershire batter Tom Fell.

Fell stroked his way to a superb 133 not out against his former club, and needed only four deliveries to score the 15 runs required from the final over to seal victory. Harry Parton provided support with 60, while Oliver Parton made 42.

In Premier Division One, in-form Shrewsbury will be keen to finish with a flourish when they host Ombersley.

The London Road outfit have tasted success in each of their last three completed outings, the latest of which saw record a 46-run triumph at Barnt Green on Saturday.

An impressive display with the ball, led by Rhodri Evans, was key to the victory.

He picked up 5-32, while Dustin Melton and Harry Darley both claimed two wickets as the hosts were rolled out for 107 in reply to Shrewsbury's 153. George Hargrave (42) and Evans (41) were the main contributors with the bat for the visitors.
