Wellington have moved up to fourth in the Birmingham League after beating bottom side Walsall by four wickets.

They bowled Walsall out for 117, before reaching 118-6 in the only Premier Division game to beat the rain.

Wellington are now only 51 points behind leaders Knowle & Dorridge, and 21 behind second-placed Shrewsbury, who were washed out at Barnt Green.

In Division One, Shifnal were 177 all out, but heavy rain stopped Old Hill from beginning their reply.

In Division Two, Whitchurch bowled Ombersley out for 180 but were skittled for just 57.

Bridgnorth managed a few overs against Old Elizabethans, reaching 20-3 before the weather intervened, but St George's and Division Three Oswestry saw no action at all.

In the Shropshire Premier League, Wem moved to within five points of leaders Madeley with a win over Allscott.

The game between Madeley and fellow title challengers Much Wenlock was rained off.
