Alnwick were the better team during the first half as goals from Paul Muers, two, Brendan Jewers and Cameron Thorpe gave them a four-goal lead with Ashington replying through Darryl Townsley before half-time.

The second half was a closer affair with Ross Adams netting a second goal for Ashington.

North Sunderland 4 Alnmouth Utd 1
