NORTHWICH Victoria are through to the third round of the Doodson Sport Cup.
Strikes from Gary Burnett and Jack Sherratt killed off fellow Evo-Stik NPL Division One North high-fliers Bamber Bridge at Flixton's Valley Road last night.
A lob from Burnett put Vics ahead after 28 minutes and the advantage was doubled eight minutes later when Sherratt blasted home.
Bridge midfielder Paul McKenna hauled the visitors back into the game with 14 minutes remaining but Jim Gannon's men stood firm.
Vics: Smith, Smalley, Henry, Clarke, Gorman, Cook (Ali 67), Sanogo (Summerskill 57), Roddy, Burnett (Matthews 52), Dixon, Sherratt. Subs not used: Deasy (GK), Meadowcroft.
