Kenilworth Cricket Club lost by five-wickets to Warwickshire Cricket League Division One winners Aston Manor with just one league match remaining.
The town side was bowled out for 123 in just 30 overs, as only opener Pat Howard (32) and brother, Jack, (29) in the tail made any scores of note.
In reply Aston Manor then eased to 128 for five inside 30 overs. Aston had to recover from 52 for four with Waseem Mazhar making 30 and Thomas Clarke 25.
But it was Shakeel Janjua who brought the side victory with his quick fire 13-ball 32 not out, hitting four sixes and a boundary.
Kenilworth's wicket takers were Darius Potten-Ravenshad with 2-14, Connor Shingler 2-34 and Adie Sellar.
