Stockton Town put the boot into Seaton Carew in a painfully one-sided Wearside League Cup first round clash, running out 12-0 away winners.
Seaton have lost a manager, coaches and five players and had to make six new signings just to get a team out.
But they were hit by injuries which left them with only two players on the bench and Wearside League-leading Stockton ran amok.
Matty Garbutt, Kallum Hannah and Adam Nicholson scored hat-tricks and James Ward, Joe Hinchley and Tony Johnson all got in on the act.
Stockton are still waiting to discover who they will play in the next round as the League Cup tie between Cleator Moor Celtic and Horden was abandoned due to a player injury.
Their next game is tomorrow night at Sunderland RCA in a rearranged Durham Challenge Cup first round fixture.
Central defender John McLone enjoyed a sensational game as stand-in keeper as he saved three penalties in Wolviston’s League Cup preliminary round trip to Annfield Plain.
Wolviston led 2-0 through Christian Selby’s penalty and a Chris Burton chip, but the tie went to spot kicks after Annfield got back on level terms and extra time failed to separate the sides.
The Villagers won the shootout 3-1 with McLone proving the hero and Selby, James Rowe and debutant Craig Mountain scoring from the spot.
Redcar Athletic dumped Boldon out of a cup tie for the second time in a fortnight, winning 2-0 at home in the second round of the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup, thanks to two second half James Swann goals from Jordan Kirk assists.
