in a scrappy game Hartlepool took the lead in the 27th minute when Lee Haggan and Neil Hay combined to leave John Malcolmson with the task of slotting the ball home from 12 yards.

Mackinlay Park 0 Wolviston Res 2

The game was very even for the most of the first half but three minutes before half-time Darren Beattie scored to make it 1-0 at half-time.

Stokesley SC 1 Nunthorpe Ath 0

Stokesley Sports Club gained three points that helps them up into 12th place four points clear of Mackinlay Park who lead the basement club by seven points.

Matthew Drury then made an excellent save to keep the Nunthorpe attack at bay to help keep his side's 1-0 lead intact at half time. In the second half the match was again scrappy but Nunthorpe's hopes of getting anything out of the game were hit when they had a player sent of in the 75th minute. Stokesley then had a good chance to double their lead when Sam Vernalls was put through but he fired straight at the keeper. Nunthorpe pressed for the last ten minutes and thought they had scored in the last minute but had the goal disallowed for pushing.

Dormans FC 4 Thornaby Mandale 1

But early in the second half McGowan, with his second of the game, made it 2-0 and then Richard Boden made it 3-0 before Thornaby Mandale scored what turned out to be a consolation goal from the penalty spot by Andy Dyson.

Carlin How 1 Grangetown BC 2

Carlin How took an early lead against the holders of the cup when Steve Starsmore pulled the ball back past two defenders from the by line to Glen Smith who slotted home from four yards. This remained the only goal of the first half in which seemed rather niggley but three minutes into the second half Grangetown drew level when Alan Shepherd rose the highest to head home from a corner. Again there were some tough tackling and the Boys Club gradually got on top and in the 85th minute Michael Meggison broke clear and ran on to give the Boys Club a 2-1 lead which, despite a concerted effort from the home side, they hung onto to progress to the semi-finals and a home match against BEADS in early April.

Darlington SRM 0 Richmond Town 7

Second Division side Darlington SRM entertained First Division Richmond Town with a place in the semi-finals waiting for the winners. The first 20 minutes were very even with DSRM going close to making the breakthrough but in the 25th minute Richard Thompson gave Richmond Town the lead and a minute before half time Michael Sartini made it 2-0. In the second half a lack of discipline by the home side saw them slip further behind when Matthew Hill made it 3-0 in the 67th minute, he added his second and his side's fourth two minutes later. DSRM were reduced to nine men when they had two players sent off and Richmond took advantage to add further goals through Dave Hill in the 75th minute and Matthew Hill scored twice more in the 80th and 83rd minute to make it 7-0.

Thornaby YC 3 Thornaby FC 1

The game was switched to Teesdale Park as the Youth Club pitch was unfit, but this did not deter the Youth Club as they raced into a 2-0 lead inside 20 minutes with Gary Waite and Marty Moore scoring. In the second half Thornaby's chances of getting back into the match were reduced when Michael Percival was sent off in the 50th minute. Seven minutes later the Youth Club made it 3-0 when a Darren Humphries shot on goal was well saved by the Thornaby keeper only for Darren Fixter to react the quickest to score his 14th of the season. With seven minutes remaining Danny Jones pulled a goal back, his 17th of the season, but it's the Youth Club who travel to Richmond Town in the semi-final on the April 3.
