The Pitmen – who were last winners in 2012/13 – booked themselves a quarter-final tie as Cockerline headed home.

Stafford Rangers survived a late scare to advance past Rocester in the Staffordshire Senior Cup.

The holders of the competition return to the quarter-finals after cruising into a 3-0 lead through goals from Jack Sherratt, Joe Cuff and captain Josh Green.

However, a pair of late strikes from the visitors threatened to ruin Boro’s night until substitute Jake Charles made it 4-2 with almost the last kick of the game.

Chasetown though exited the Walsall Senior Cup at the second-round stage, going down 2-0 at Boldmere St Michaels.

George Cater rattled the post in the first half, but Boldmere tied up the result before the interval with a pair of goals to dump the Scholars out.
