Wath Brow Hornets demolished Leigh Miners Rangers 60-12 to reach the second round of the Conference Championship play-offs.
They will be at home again on Saturday to West Bowling who were 26-8 winners over Dewsbury Moor.
Although it was tight early doors, and Rangers only trailed by two tries to one after half an hour, the hosts had pulled away to lead 24-6 by the break.
They quickly put the game to bed in the third quarter and after Leigh had managed their second score, rubbed it in with two more late tries.
Cole Walker-Taylor and Ellison Holgate scored the early tries for Wath Brow, answered by Leigh’s Harry Dorby.
Further tries from Curtis Teare and Owen McCartney extended the Hornets lead at the break with Sam Curwen improving all the touchdowns.
Any hopes of the visitors staying in the contest were shattered after the resumption when Peter Caddy, Fran King, Nathan Lucock, Walker-Taylor and Holgate crossed for further tries.
Although Noah Lancelot scored a second try for Leigh, converted by Josh Rourke, after 73 minutes there was still time for more Hornets scores.
Clark Riley and Jamie Devine both crossed with Curwen finishing his afternoon on eight successful kicks.
Not so fortunate were Kells who floundered in the Championship play-offs, going under 74-6 at Thatto Heath.
It means that Kells will now contest the Shield competition and start on Saturday in round one at home to West Hull.
Kells had already lost the game, trailing 46-0 early in the second half when Jake Parker scored their consolation try, converted by Jordan Burns.
Egremont Rangers made progress in the cup competition with an emphatic 58-12 win at Barrow Island.
They progress to round two and on Saturday will host Woolston Rovers.
Egremont had their game in the south of the county won by half-time when they led 42-0. By the hour mark that had grown to 58-0.
Now whether they took their foot off the gas or Barrow Island suddenly woke up, we will never know. But they never scored a point in the last quarter and the Islanders responded with two converted tries.
Sam Appleby (2), Fraser McNee (2), Toby Corrie (2), Matty Bewsher, Jack Thompson, Patrick Wells and Brad Long scored the Egremont tries with Billy Thompson kicking nine goals.
Max Moore and Noah Robinson crossed for Barrow Island with Sam Jones converting both.
