Premier Division

Dean Stewart and Steven Wood were on target for Hebburn Reyrolle as they moved away from the danger zone.

Rutherford’s Peter Williams proved a dead-ball ace as he whipped a late free kick into the Walker Central net to earn a precious point for the basement side.

Robert Hamilton shot Central ahead but Tom White marked his debut with an equaliser soon after half time.

With just ten minutes to go Philip Davison restored the Central advantage until Williams proved the hero as he levelled in the 88^th minute.

Lee Garwood struck twice and Paul McHutcheon added another for Wallsend Town but they were punished for a lack of ruthlessness in front of goal as Percy Main’s Chris Bell (2), Ray Oshin and Alex Bergham all picked their spots at the other end to leave the Town keeper pointing at his defenders and kicking the ball out of the back of the net in dejection with his hands on his hips.

Stocksfield were left gutted as they were sent crashing out by a last minute own goal.

Chris Hall shot them ahead against Amble United, who hit back to lead with goals from Sean Taylor and Josh Hay.

Karl Campbell levelled, but Taylor restored the Amble advantage.

Hall fired in a penalty in the 85^th minute to make it all-square but a defender stretched to try and rob an inrushing forward in the dying seconds and the ball lobbed the keeper and ended up in the back of the net.

Killingworth Sporting’s Liam Callaghan and John Amos netted within a minute of each other at Heaton Stannington and although Paul Chapman quickly pulled one back, a breathless opening twenty minutes saw Michael Bowman add a third two minutes later.

Ben Telford notched a second for Heaton after the break, but Sporting weathered the storm to advance into the last four.

Jake Turnbull shot Shankhouse ahead against Harraby United and although Alan Casey levelled just before half time, the home side produced their best performance of the season to win with further goals from Paul Dunn, Dean Deagle and Philip Cartwright.
