Wolviston left it late before clinching victory over Shotton Comrades in the Sunderland Shipowners' Cup on Saturday.

The tie was deep into injury time when Ian Bishop was up-ended in the box and Andy Steel converted the penalty.

After equalising early in the second period, Shotton dominated but their scoring efforts were capably dealt with by the Wolviston defence.

The visitors went ahead against the run of play after ten minutes. Scott Lawson delivered a great cross to the far post and Steel rose to power in a header.

Shotton deservedly levelled five minutes after the interval. A 25-yard shot from Lee Beeston evaded goalkeeper Alan Wigglesworth.
