Powerful forward Liam Hughes bagged his 40th goal of the season as Worksop made it 32 games unbeaten.

Hebburn started bright with Liam Murray firing a shot into debutant keeper Dylan Parkin from the edge of the box on four minutes.

At the other end, Terry Hawkridge swung a free-kick into Hughes at the back post but Shaun Newbrook caught with ease.

Another cross came in on 13 minutes for Worksop which was again met by Hughes, this time Newbrook was forced into an agile fingertip stop.

Worksop’s opener came on 23 minutes after a neat passage of play, resulting in Luke Hall squaring to Hughes for a low finish past Newbrook.

That lead was doubled with 34 on the clock when a push on Robbie Spence was waved away, allowing Hall to again set up Hughes at close-range.

There were chances for Hebburn to pull one back before half-time with Jake Hackett swinging a free-kick off target, before Murray’s header flew over and Tom Devitt’s strike was blocked.

The second half started quietly, however Worksop carved out a chance on 57 minutes through another cross which Jay Rollins sent wide of the post.

Worksop’s attacking combo of Hughes and Hall again proved a danger on 68 minutes, this time the latter got his name onto the scoresheet with a finish from inside the six-yard box.

Moments later, Joe Walton committed a foul inside the area and Hughes stepped up, sending Newbrook the wrong way for his hat-trick.

Amar Purewal was denied low by Parkin as Hebburn tried to claw one back, though The Hornets got their consolation when the number nine rounded the keeper on 82 minutes.
