Hebburn Town 1-5 Stocksbridge Park Steels

Three first-half strikes sent Steels ahead before another two in the second period, despite a consolation.

Six minutes in, Josh Nodder capitalised on a Hebburn mistake, slotting past U23s' shot-stopper Kieran Hunter to take the lead.

A minute later, Kevin Bolam's side hit the post from a cross, while Nodder shot wide one-on-one at the other end.

Luke Mangham made it two on the 16 mark, executing some brilliant build-up play with Nodder.

Sam Finlaw powered a shot off target from outside the area, before Hebburn's afternoon got even tougher on 26 minutes.

Steels won a header from Ed Hall's deep free-kick, which Ross Goodwin collected and blasted past Hunter from 25-yards.

Mangham almost made it four before the break, but Hunter stayed big and denied him with his leg.

The visitors did grab a fourth three minutes into the second 45, as Hunter's error was seized upon by Goodwin.

Nodder went through on goal in the 57th minute, however Hunter pulled off a fine stop.

Two minutes later though, Mangham dispossessed Jack Donaghy and struck into the bottom left corner for five.

Amar Purewal then went forward, with his close-ranged shot hitting off Hall before going into the net courtesy of Lee Cooksey.

Kurtis Turner forced two good saves from Hunter in the dying stages, the first being a long shot which took a wicked deflection.

Debutant Liam Smith struck a free-kick on the edge with three to go, however the ball sailed narrowly over, with proceedings finishing at 5-1.
