Liam Young, Philip Marriott, Ross Docherty and Alan Wilson struck for Hilda, who will host Pelton RAOB in the first round proper on October 29.

Depleted Houghton Wild Boar All-Stars’ runcame to an abrupt end with a 6-1 defeat at home to Peterlee Catholic Club.

Sherburn Village exited 5-3 to Whickham Coachman, choosing the worst time to produce a very poor performance.

Ellis (2) and Turnbull hit the consolations.

Lambton Lions progressed, beating Newton Aycliffe Sports Club 3-1.

Rainton piled the pressure on and hauled themselves level with goals from Olly Hotchkiss and James Wood to force the shoot-out.

Witton Gilbert WMC put up a decent show against Pittington and deserved their late consolation goal in a 3-1 defeat. Anthony Morton stood out for Witton.

Ushaw Moor Cricket Club came through tough tie to win 2-1 at Ferryhill Community Hub in the JD Taxis Guards Cup.

Keeper Aaron Hall produced a magnificent series of saves to keep the cricketers in the game after Ferryhill dominated the first half.

A change of formation inspired Ushaw Moor’s second-half surge, with Anthony Bussey making the breakthrough after sub Dan Gregg used his pace to get to the by-line and pull it back.

A penalty miss looked to be costly when Hub levelled, but Mark English robbed the full-back, ran 40 yards and laid the ball off to James Richardson, who played in English to finish from close range.

Coxhoe Red Lion eased to a 4-1 first-round win over Sedgefield SC, thanks to doubles from Rob Hurton and Jamie Appleby. Leon Greenwell starred.

Ferryhill Celtic lost 4-3 in a Premier Division thriller at home to Ouston Cherry Tree after leading 2-0 and 3-2 with goals from Marco Linhart and Jonny Agar (2).

Left-back Tony Todd was Ouston’s man of the match, even though Micky Ross had a hand in all four goals. Ross netted with a cracker from outside the area, plus a penalty, and played Damien McMahon through to score and crossed for Olly Forsyth to bullet home a header.

Brandon Sports Club edged a tight duel 2-1 at Sacriston Cricket Club.

Michael Fort headed home an excellent Lee Blades cross for Brandon’s opener, and added a close-range second following Gavin Mudd’s header.

Houghton Town battled hard for a point in a 0-0 draw at Sedgefield St Edmund’s, with Lee McBeth their star man.

Craig Ellison, Callum Munro and Max Stoker hit trebles, backed by Jon Jordison, Shaun Dixon and Grant Craig.

James Cattell hit the opener following a long Fisher throw, then Jackson hit a well-taken clincher when one on one with the keeper.

Grange Villa edged home 3-2 against Lumley, who were 2-1 up at the break thanks to efforts from Jon Bell and Jon Cossar, after trailing to Ben Jefferson’s early strike.

Liam Mitchell hauled Villa level from Mark Greener’s pass, then scored a carbon copy to win it. Harry Simpson starred for Lumley, Joe Murray for Villa.

Dan Hatton added a fifth before the visitors bagged two replies.

Captain Thomas Illingworth played a part in all five goals as Sacriston The Shoes squeezed home 5-3 against Bishop Middleham.

Liam McEldon and Illingworth also scored, with Jon Steel, Ashley Jenkins and Arran Murdoch.

Bearpark produced a much-improved performance to secure a 3-2 win at Hetton New Inn, with John Blake (2) and Dylan Crooks netting. Luke Stevens starred
