Max Craggs scored as Stockton Town successfully battled against the elements and a resolute Sunderland West End defence to record a 1-0 away win.
West End had keeper Neal Bussey to thank for keeping the score goalless in the first half as he pulled off a string of saves, including a tip-over from a Kallum Hannah header.
But he was unable to do anything about Craggs’ moment of magic in the 55th minute as he won the ball in the centre circle and raced clear to score with a fierce shot.
The win means the Wearside League-leading Stockton’s incredible unbeaten league record has now reached 38 games.
Basement boys Wolviston celebrated back-to-back wins by upsetting fifth-placed Whitehaven 3-0 at home.
The Villagers took the lead on 16 minutes when Ian Danby intercepted an under-hit back pass and slotted the ball under the keeper.
Whitehaven had two chances to equalise but the home defence stood firm, and Danby almost made it 2-0 when his shot crashed back off an upright.
Both teams then hit the woodwork again before half time, and Wolviston made it 2-0 after it when Nathan Summersgill smashed the ball home after being found by Danby.
Wolviston’s Glen Lancaster shot wide of an open goal before Whitehaven hit the bar from a free-kick.
But the home side still found time to score an 88th minute third as Danby powered in a header from Nick Robinson’s free-kick.
Redcar Athletic squandered a 2-1 half-time cushion as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Boldon.
Kieran Stares and Adam Preston goals gave Redcar a 2-0 lead before Boldon clawed their way back.
