Despite falling to a 148 run defeat away to Walsall on the closing day, Barnt Green secured the bonus points required to stave off relegation.
The hosts put on a respectable 261 for 6, with Bruce Thomason top scoring with 86, Alex Mellor hitting 71, and Billy-J Cox 45.
Cox then took 4-28 with 3 wickets for Paul Wicker, skittling the Green out for 113 in 27 overs. Wicketkeeper George Hargrave top scoring with 23.
So an 8th place finish in the end for the 1st XI, which also sees Ombersley and Wolverhampton relegated.
Next season sees 1st Division Champions Kidderminster promoted to the Premier League, together with Shifnal as runners up.
