Meanwhile the future of the club looks bright after the under-15s impressed at the Shropshire Finals Day after winning their regional league.

Town batted first against hosts Oswestry and posted 102-7 with Sam Cadwallader (42), Rhys Jones (19) and Griff Davies (10) the top performers.

In reply Oswestry posted 166-3 which included a wonderful quick fire 50 from 27 balls from Harry Darley.

With Oswestry 64 ahead after the first innings, the Welsh side restricted the hosts to 89-6 in the second with Griff Davies (3-10) supported by Cai Van Lill (1-6).

Needing 154 to win, Sam Cadwallader and Iwan Smout started well.

Davies and Cadwallader put the hosts under pressure for a while before the latter was run for 25.

Davies (47) continued to pile on the runs, falling short of his 50 with two balls of the game left and Newtown ultimately falling 36 runs short of Oswestry’s total.

A club spokesman said: “We are extremely proud of what these lads have achieved. Most will have another two seasons competing at under-15 level, so to be competing with Oswestry shows how well the lads have down this season.”
