Jason Greenland netted four goals in the Vic’s rout, with James Smith also getting a hat-trick. Michael Lowes, Marc Nelson and John Templeton were also on target.
Secretary Marcus Jayne said: “The lads did very well and thoroughly deserved the win. They played really well and it was pleasing to book our place in the quarter-finals.”
Binchester Social Club joined the Vic with a 5-2 win at Penny Gill with goals by Gavin Dunnett (2), Stuart Allen (2) and Lee Furber.
That means the quarter-finals of the B&A Trophy consist of Lakeside v Victoria, Binchester SC v Thorns, Belvedere v Masons Arms and Old Shildon v Quinns.
Meanwhile, Masons Arms continued their Division One title push with a hard-fought win at Hogans.
Goals on either side of half-time saw Masons clinch their 12th league win of the campaign to maintain their pressure on league-leaders and championship favourites Thorns - see the latest Game of the Week feature.
