Crook & District League side Heighington took an early lead through Dan Dixon, but the hosts turned it around before the break through Toby Millward and Dylan Dawson. After the restart a smashing finish from Millward extended their advantage before substitute Shane Dodson got on the end of a right wing cross to pull it back to 3-2.
Millard grabbed his hat trick just before the hour mark, then when the fifth goal arrived in the 78th minute through a clumsy OG it looked game over. With just under five minutes remaining Dixon scored his second with a lovely 25 yard free kick and he still had time to grab his hat trick to make it 5-4.The clock was against Heighington to take the match into extra time as Wynyard held on in a cracking open cup tie.
