Shrewsbury title bid goes to wire

Club cricket

Shrewsbury know a winning draw in their final game of the season should see them promoted to Birmingham League premier division.

The penultimate weekend of the season was a wash-out and left Shrewsbury needing 12 points from their final fixture at home to Dorridge.

They would replace Shifnal whose drop down from the top flight was confirmed by the lack of play.

In division two Newport managed 47-3 against Berkswell before the rain hit.

St George's have been left with an outside chance of making the promotion frame in this division, but it would take some unlikely outcomes elsewhere to help them - and Whitchurch are a similar outside bet in division three.

Reman's Services have been crowned champions of the Shropshire Premier League, despite all the scheduled matches this weekend being rained-off.

It is the side's first title since 1970, when they played under the Rolls Royce banner.
