Penrith are the latest side to reach the quarter finals of the Fred Conway County Cup.
They got through with what looked a comprehensive win over Workington Juniors, who had agreed to switch the tie to Frenchfield.
But it wasn’t all plain sailing as all six goals came in the last half hour of the game after the Cumberland County League side had got to half-time all square at 0-0.
But four goals in a ten minute spell put Penrith in command and eased any concerns they may have had earlier.
Luke Hunter, the Northern League’s top goal scorer started it on the hour with the opening goal.
Then three goals in as many minutes destroyed any thoughts the Workington side had of getting back into the contest.
Luke Brown (67) and Hunter (68) struck before Conor Hammel made it 4-0 after 70 minutes.
Hunter completed his hat-trick in the 83rd minute and Brown added his second two minutes from the end.
Penrith join Carlisle City, Workington, Windscale, Cleator Moor Celtic, Unisun Athletic and Kirkoswald in the quarter final draw to be held next Tuesday.
Hear Jim Nicholls’ view of the game below:
The eighth club will be decided tonight at Frenchfield where Greystoke have arranged to stage their tie with Carlisle United.
- Carlisle City should have played a Northern League game last night at home to Crook Town but it was postponed because of an unfit pitch.
