Chris Page (7-16) and Jack White (3-28) single-handledly tore apart Middlewich as they were all out for 45.

Despite Danny Cooper's dismissal (10), it was left to Asif Iqbal (13) and Jamie Fisher (20) to record the win.

Meanwhile on Sunday, they suffered disappointment losing the Cheshire Shield final to Bollington by 12 runs.
