Pikes' brave journey in the competition is over, though they equal their best run, played out in front of the BBC cameras.
Pickering's clash with NPL West Runcorn Linnets was broadcast live on iPlayer.
As a result, over 1,000 packed into Mill Lane.
Linnets led midway through the first period, with Pikes pushing more as the half wore on.
However, the Cheshire visitors made sure of the victory and progression to the penultimate qualifying round with a second goal, late on.
Tony Hackworth's Pickering side made almost £6,000 in prize money alone from their run in the competition. Boosted by TV cash, they'll be hopeful of continuing their Northern Counties East Premier promotion ambitions when they host Horbury on Tuesday, with a 7.45pm kick-off.
