Result: Lost by 7 wickets

Match Report:

Repton lost their second match in a row with a defeat in a low scoring game against Shrewsbury. The visitors won the toss and put Repton in to bat, who never really got going. Wickets fell regularly and Repton were all out for 117 in 26 overs. The total never looked good enough, but some excellent bowling and fielding kept Repton in the contest. Although wickets were proving hard to come by, Shrewsbury were finding it difficult to score. However, it was always going to be difficult to defend the total and Shrewsbury finally got into gear and reached the target for the loss of just three wickets.
