Mid Cheshire’s best two teams, Northwich-based Castle Private and Wharton Cons from Winsford, supplied seven of the dozen bowlers on duty in Cannock.
Cookson was joined by son Simon and clubmates Danny Nixon, Thomas Vickers and Shaun Yearsley alongside Castle pair Jason Cornes and Stephen Morrey.
Cheshire ran out 230-210 victors in the home leg at Alderley Sports and Social Club, an aggregate win of 469-398.
