Will Hutchinson and skipper Will Norman both hit 51 in Flixton's reply, but it was left to Jamie Nesfield to hold his nerve again at the death with a quickfire 18 to get his side over the line, as he finished the job off alongside Harry Walmsley with three wickets and a couple of overs to spare.

Flixton will travel to the winner of the Midlands final between Fillongley and Pelsall on August 5, with the winner going on to a dream final at Lord's on Sunday September 16.
