Bridgnorth lost by seven wickets at West Bromwich Dartmouth.
An opening stand of 64 between Ryan Lockley (35) and Sam Whitney (33) got Bridgnorth off to a steady start, but they would lose all 10 wickets for 108 to be 172 all out before Dartmouth reached their target in the 37th over.
In Premier One, an understrength Shifnal were swept aside by Knowle & Dorridge.
