Peter Ferris slammed in the third, Matthew Bell reacted quickest when the ball came back off the woodwork for the fourth and in the final minute Darren Addison stretched the net with another 35-yard piledriver.
Chris Fairless gave Stocksfield the lead against third-placed Whitley Bay A in an exciting end-to-end game that saw Ian Lee equalise. Sandy Tordoff made it 2-1 to the Griffins but an unlucky Matthew Stables own goal restored parity.

Craig Smith fired in from the penalty spot to give the Seahorses a 33rd minute lead but Ben Telford levelled in the 57th minute when he cut in from the right and struck a fine drive into the top corner from just outside the box.
Alex Redfern restored the Whitley Bay A advantage five minutes into the first period of extra time but with the clock ticking down, Gary Dixon showed nerves of steel to fire in a last minute penalty that took the Final to the thrilling shoot-out.

Cumberland FA Senior Cup Final
Carlisle United 2 Harraby CC 1
Unlucky Harraby went down to Mark Beck’s last-gasp winner as Carlisle United lifted their second successive Cumberland Senior Cup.
The Blues included skipper Paul Thirlwell and Irish striker Paddy Madden in their line up and went ahead in the 38th minute as Jack Lynch embarked on a superb solo run.

The lead lasted just two minutes as Dan Balmer rose to flick on a long ball for Dean Armstrong who found himself clear and tucked away smartly past advancing keeper Mark Gillespie.
Potts had a header blocked on the line just before the break but battling Harraby looked to be taking the game into extra time until the dying seconds when David Symington went down the left and fired in a low cross that Beck stretched to prod past the sprawling Andrew Casson from six yards.

Michael Waggett banged in a double as leaders Heaton Stannington zeroed in on the title.
He slotted the opener against Killingworth Sporting just before the break and three goals in six minutes after half time – from Ben Telford, Jonathon Wright and a stunning Waggett drive – shattered the resistance. Joe Wear headed a fifth late on to complete the emphatic win.
But Hebburn Reyrolle’s important victory at Whitley Bay A keeps them in contention. In what was a must-win game for both sides, Channon North went clear to tuck away the first and Dean Patton volleyed in the second after the break.
The cheers that Ponteland United heard last summer in lifting the title turned to tears as they crashed to defeat at already-relegated Murton and joined them in the relegation spots.
United were left with a mountain to climb after first half goals from Liam Wintripp and Tom Wilkie (pen). Daniel Dunn pulled one back late on but the black and whites couldn’t force the issue.
Shaun Gibson’s early free kick gave Ashington Colliers the points at Carlisle City, who hit the woodwork three times, while Shankhouse also rattled the post in a goalless draw at Blyth Town.
Stocksfield struck four times in the second half at Walker Central with Chris Fairless (2), Glenn Caygill and Philip Murray on target and Harraby CC also hit four in the second half against Gateshead Rutherford on Friday night.

Killingworth Sporting can’t win the Premier Division title – but after beating contenders Carlisle City and with Heaton Stannington still to play, they can have a big say in who does.
The clubs switched the fixture to Cumbria to beat the sodden pitches in the north east and when Ricky James fired in a superb dipping volley to give the Sky Blues an early lead, it looked like they would keep up the pressure at the top.
But Michael Bowman got on the end of a good team move to steer in a cross that levelled things up after the break and City had their heads in their hands when Peter Mulholland capitalised on a defensive blunder to hand Sporting the advantage.
The turnaround was completed when Bowman lobbed in the third from 25-yards.
It’s also tight at the bottom and Walker Central earned some breathing space as Paul Collinson struck four times at Seaton Delaval.
His first half double saw Central in control and although Trevor Benjamin pulled one back with a spectacular overhead kick, Collinson reacted quickest to knock in two more from close range at the other end.
Benjamin added a second before James Walker fired number five for the joyful visitors with a Paul Katz late strike merely a consolation.
Blyth Town’s Daniel Long netted a hat-trick at Stocksfield that moved the visitors up to the comfort of mid-table – but sucked the Griffins into the danger zone.
Chris Fairless pulled one back for Stocksfield but Kyle Devlin added two more at the other end.
Amble United are Division One Champions and they lifted the silverware after a storming 4-1 win over Newcastle Uni.
Josh Hay and Adam Shanks both fired doubles, with an Ed Savitt reply sandwiched between, as the unbeaten Seasiders deservedly popped the champagne.
Jorge Bollardo scored a hat-trick for Forest Hall as they saw off Morpeth Sporting and a late Rob Watson penalty gave Cullercoats three points at Heddon.
Red House Farm have been sensational in storming to the top of Division Two – but with the season’s end fast approaching, they are starting to wobble.
They went down 2-0 at Alston with goals from Andy Hall and Jordan Norris giving the Cumbrians the win.
Andrew Shaw’s double gave Wideopen the points against Cramlington United and strikes from Kane Chirnside, Ryan Ferrier and Gareth Pugh saw Willington Quay saints to victory against Swalwell. Tony King scored for the visitors.
