KIERON Robinson scored four times as Fulledge Colts kept up their search for silverware in their debut season in the league.
The Burnley side secured their place in the third round of the cup after coming out on top in an eight goal thriller -- with all the goals coming in the second half.
Robinson opened the scoring early after the restart only for Langho to equalise within two minutes when Harry Proos glanced in a flicked header at the near post.
But with the wind at their backs, Fulledge always seemed to have the upperhand and only a splendid save by William Cook denied Robinson a second goal.
However, the Colts soon regained their lead when Robinson found Thomas Judd down the left. His firm cross was missed by the Langho defence and Nikki Loder thumped the ball in at the far post.
Fulledge went further ahead when Robinson tapped in from close range after Cook had taken the sting out of a firmly struck shot by Nathan Egan following a surging run.
But Fulledge could not shake off a stubborn Langho side and Nick Smith held off two defenders before unleashing a shot that was too hot for Sam Laycock to handle and the ball bounced over the line.
Langho needed to hold Colts -- and Robinson in particular -- to stand any chance to getting back on level terms.
But Robinson was given too much time on the ball and Langho paid the price was the Colts striker drilled the ball home from the edge of the area.
Just when the Colts thought they had the tie wrapped up, Langho hit back again and this time it was Richard Wilson who cut the deficit to one goal with a sweetly struck shot from outside the area. Crucially for the Colts the responded straight from the restart when Robinson chased a hopeful punt up field, beat Cook to the ball to score his fourth of the game. This time there was no Langho comeback and Colts booked their place in the next round.
