In-form Penrith swept into the next round of the FA Cup with a convincing victory over Pickering Town.

Darren Edmondson's side saw off their opponents with a 3-0 win in the extra preliminary round.

DJ Taylor, Connor Hammell and Luke Hunter all struck first half goals to send the Bonny Blues through.

They will now face fellow Northern League Division One outfit Crook Town in the preliminary round.

Saturday's win at the Leo Group Stadium maintained Penrith's 100 per cent start to the season, following victories in their first two league games.

It also earned prize money of £1,125.

Taylor slotted home the opener from close range before fellow ex-Carlisle United man Hammell fired an impressive second from outside the box.

Hunter, who had provided the first two goals, then converted a Taylor cross to leave Penrith's Yorkshire visitors further adrift.

The preliminary round tie against Crook - who defeated Marske United 4-1 - will be on the weekend of August 17.

Carlisle City, though, are out of the FA Cup after going down to a 1-0 defeat at Whickham on Friday night.

A late penalty from former Hartlepool United and England Schoolboys man Jordan Lavery penalty was enough to send the hosts through, while City had former Carlisle United youth forward Romeo Park sent off in the first half for an off-the-ball incident.

Another Cumbrian club, though, are still in the competition with Kendal Town earning a replay against Guisborough Town.

A late James Bailey strike for the Mintcakes forced a 2-2 draw on home soil.

Matt Dudley had put Kendal ahead only for Joey Smith and Kurtis Howes to turn things around for the visitors.

Bailey then buried the rebound after having an injury-time penalty saved, meaning a replay at Guisborough on Wednesday night for the right to face Newcastle Benfield in the preliminary round.
