Stockton Town and Redcar Athletic gave their fans plenty of Christmas cheer as they cracked in 12 goals between them.
The sides play each other next time out in a Shipowners Charity Cup semi-final on January 3 and the game should be a high-scoring one going by their weekend activities in the Wearside League.
Impressive leaders Stockton surged to a 7-0 win at Seaton Carew to ensure they finished the year unbeaten away from home.
Kallum Hannah struck four times to become the first Stockton player to score 100 goals.
Fourth-placed Redcar were almost as lethal at Green Lane as they put Silksworth to the sword in a 5-1 victory which included some top drawer strikes.
Stockton bombarded Seaton but had to wait until the 39th minute for Hannah to put them ahead with a penalty.
Hannah added three more after the break, including a spectacular scissor kick.
Stockton’s other goals came from Matty Garbutt, Max Craggs and Adam Nicholson.
Kieran Stares was first to score for Redcar after six minutes, turning to fire in a dipping shot over the Silksworth keeper from 35 yards out.
Joe Ferguson then powered in a 25-yard free-kick to make it 2-0.
And it was 3-0 when Michael Woodhouse picked up a Stares pass on the halfway line and left the entire Silksworth defence trailing in his wake before firing in a low shot.
Lance Skelton made it 4-0 just before the break with another low drive after James Swann had squared the ball to him.
Substitute Adam Hartnett got a deserved goal when he rounded the keeper with seven minutes remaining after he was put through into the area by Stares.
