WHITCHURCH Cricket Club will host the start of Shropshire’s three day season on Sunday.
Shropshire will begin their NCCA Championship fixtures with a three-day match in Western Division Two against Cheshire starting at Whitchurch on Sunday (11am).
The Salopians go into the game with confidence high having made the final of the NCCA Trophy which ended in defeat by five wickets against Dorset in Sunday’s final.

Captain Charlie Home said: “What we all have to remember as Shropshire supporters, which we all are, is three years ago we were in a very different place, Shropshire as a county and our senior cricket team.
“We were towards the bottom of all the competitions, and to be in a final – and last year we narrowly missed out on gaining promotion to the top division of the Championship Western Division – so I think it’s all good.”
Whitchurch chairman Iain Marsh added: “Whitchurch CC is proud and privileged to be hosting Shropshire County Cricket Club v Cheshire in the NCCA three day match from Sunday to Tuesday.
“The club hopes to see lots of local residents and supporters over the three days and are hoping maybe even one of their players will be called up.”
