7VEN bow out of the Durham FA County Cup after a late winner from Sunderland Redhouse.
7VEN started brightly with a couple of early chances, but it was Redhouse who took the lead.
In the 15th minute, a corner was played into the back post and kept in; it found the number 5, who placed his effort into the bottom corner.
But 7VEN were straight back into it in the 21st minute: a throw-in to the box wasn't dealt with correctly.
Harrison Smith headed into on to Liam Grieveson, who played a superb ball over the defence from the edge of the area, and Craig Altringham had a finish to match, his outstretched volley sailed into the top corner to equalise.
Five minutes later, 7VEN were in front in the game for the first time. Patrick Mulvey played an inch-perfect cross that found Harvey Hope in the box, and he guided the momentum into the bottom corner.
However, two minutes later, Redhouse were straight back into it, after entering the pitch due to a forced change, the number 19 striker headed home an uncontested cross, which saw them make it 2-2.
In the 40th minute, Hope and Mulvey linked up again, this time it was the latter who produced an effort on goal, but it was straight at the keeper's midrith and well claimed.
After half-time, both teams had chances to find the winner, but neither defence was truly tested.
It wasn't until the 60th minute that 7VEN retook the lead. A cross was played in and cleared only to Smith, who drilled his first-time effort into the bottom corner.
Just a minute later, Redhouse equalised once again, a corner was headed home by the number 19, a threat for the home side.
7VEN had a late chance as Jack Stonehouse whipped in a corner that found Olly Burrows, but his header was over the bar.
In the 88th minute, number 15 was played through on goal and beat Adam Linsel to fire Redhouse into the lead.
7VEN bow out of the County Cup, thanks to a late goal from Redhouse. Heatwave Tanning MOTM was awarded to Harvey Hope for some great attacking play and another goal to his tally for the campaign. UT7.
