North Sunderland made it the round dozen when they romped to a 12-0 home win over bottom of the table Morpeth Town Reserves in the Alliance Development Division.

The Seahouses side were in dominant form throughout, scoring six goals in each half, with the first goal coming with just three minutes on the clock.

Originally this was a game which was scheduled to be played at Morpeth, but because of the condition of their pitch, it was decided on Saturday morning to switch the venue to Seafield Park.

Adam Weightman and Kevin Elliott led the way on the goal scoring front, each netting four for the home side.
