HOUGHTON Town will be hoping they don't have to visit Jarrow again this season.
They returned to Perth Green on Saturday in the Sunderland Shipowners' Cup and once again were completely overwhelmed.
It wasn't quite so bad at the weekend as it was a week earlier. Then, Houghton were on the receiving end of an eight-goals mauling - the return fixture resulted in a six-goals defeat.
Strangely, it took Jarrow 43 minutes to break the deadlock but from then on it was one-way traffic. Peter Kane (2), Chris Lunn (2), Paul Tyrell and Christie Elliott all beat overworked goalkeeper Craig Chapman.
There were five goals at Silksworth but four of them were for Redcar Athletic.
Shaun Smith gave the Colliers a second-minute lead and it wasn't until the 49th minute that the Seasiders levelled courtesy of James Kesterton.
Billy Millington accepted a lucky bounce and fired Redcar in front before two goals in the last nine minutes from Andy Bell and Jamie Lee ended any hopes Silksworth harboured of making a comeback.
Willington are a much improved side this season and they romped to a 5-1 win at home to Coxhoe Athletic.
Danny Lee, Michael Weston, James Towers (pen), Carl Thompson and Jonathan Staff were on target with Daniel Curry claiming a consolation for Coxhoe.
John Ludlow bagged a first-half brace leading Annfield Plain to victory over Windscale.
The second period was more evenly contested and Laurie Black threw the Cumbrians a lifeline before Paul Gibbs' goal proved pivotal to the outcome.
Rob McDermott and Ryan Rivis gave Kirkbymoorside a two-goals cushion but David Baxter's goal in the 82nd minute for Ashbrooke Belford House opened up the tie.
Rivis though scored again and the game was into stoppage time as Kenny Taylor claimed what was no more than a consolation for the Wearsiders.
Bottom-of-the-table Boldon CA, who have yet to gain a point, almost caused an upset at Hartlepool who only just edged a seven-goals thriller.
Chris Archer, Johnny Bolton and Shaun Atkinson (2) struck for Pools who had Shaun Ross sent off early in the tie.
Michael Meek, Finbar Lynch and Mike Alexander replied for the South Tynesiders who just failed to take the game into extra time.
A Scott Hine hat-trick earned Stockton Town their place in the next round at the expense of Darlington Cleveland Bridge whose only reply came from a Scott Meehan own goal.
A last-minute winner by Callum Hannah ended Prudhoe Town's hopes at home to Wolviston whose other marksmen were David Ryder and Ryan Hebb. Lee Best and David Drinkall had winless Prudhoe ahead at one stage.
Two games were played in the league and Easington Colliery moved into pole position with victory at Cleator Moor Celtic who scored first courtesy of Chris Thornton.
Chris Tarn and Phil Taylor turned the tables before Celtic were reduced to nine men in the space of three minutes.
Craig Corkhill was first to go and goalkeeper Craig Devine followed him when he fouled Taylor who converted the resultant penalty.
John Toomey earned Ryhope CW a point at New Marske who led with Mark Dawson's first-half header.
