Stockton Town reached their second semi-final of the campaign as they ran out worthy 4-0 winners at Spennymoor Town Reserves in the last four of the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup.
Michael Dunwell’s side will play the winners of Saturday’s clash between Richmond Town and Wolviston away from home after enjoying a one-sided victory with goals from Stephen Roberts, Chris Stockton, Kallum Hannah and Tony Johnson.
Town’s Wearside League lead was cut to five points while they were on cup duty as Horden hammered Harton and Westoe 6-0, but they have got five games in hand on their nearest rivals.
Fourth-placed Redcar Athletic made it 10 wins in a row as they joined Stockton in thriving away from home with a 3-0 league victory at Prudhoe.
Adam Preston proved the difference between the sides as he scored a clinical hat-trick.
Wolviston’s annoying habit of playing well in defeat continued as the Villagers were beaten 2-1 at home by Ashbrooke Belford House, a result which sees them remain second-bottom of the Wearside League.
After an evenly-matched opening 20 minutes, Ashbrooke began to batter the home defence and the goal they had been threatening arrived seven minutes before half time.
A great run by Jack Devlin was rewarded when he wrong-footed his defender and swept home from 10 yards.
Wolviston got back on level terms early in the second half when Chris Fairless slotted home from Nathan Summersgill’s cross to the far post.
Ashbrooke striker Steve Boagie was sent off on the hour mark for comments he made to one of the referee’s assistants.
But it was the visitors who scored the winner out of the blue and against the run of play when Devlin added his second with a speculative 25-yard shot which went over keeper Ryan Hodgson.
