Mowbray got its full 50 overs in at Westbury Oval and posted a respectable 7-163 - the Eagles' first three-figure total of the season so far.
After losing its most experienced player John LeFevre for a duck, Mowbray steadied with a 56-run stand between stand-in skipper Luke Scott (26) and Will Dakin (27).
Two quick wickets to Kieren Hume (2-23 off 10) reduced the Eagles to 4-81 but Jono Jones and keeper Sam Canny stood firm.
The pair stuck it out until the penultimate over, with Jones top-scoring with 42 and Canny making 28, before a flurry of quick wickets tied up the innings.
Liam Ryan finished with 2-39 to be the Shamrocks' other multiple wicket-taker, while Alex Kerrison was tight with 0-24 off 10 overs.
Young gun Kobe Moore snaffled his first two dismissals as a first-grade keeper off Ryan's bowling.
