Pier chief Paddy Parke said: "We had a few of the older, more experienced players missing today but the lads battled well against a very strong Angel side.

The second half was an evenly-contested affair, with chances at a premium.

Dales doubled their lead through a Si Forde free-kick after he had been brought down to halt a mazy run.

The visitors' third goal came from player-boss Jamie Wassall, collecting a free-kick over the top from Cook before slotting the ball home, but most of the Ayton team had stopped as the referee blew his whistle after the setpiece was taken, allowing Wassall to score into an empty net.

Ayton player-boss Shaun Dolan said: "The whole team were brilliant in the first half and I couldn't fault anybody.

"But the second half was the complete opposite. A refereeing error cost us the third goal, as they played the free-kick then the ref blew his whistle.

"We all stopped playing they ran through and scored into a near empty net, though the ref did come to us after the game and apologise."

Newlands Reserves and Division Two leaders Hush played out a rare goalless draw.

Joint-manager of Newlands Lee Dolan said: "Man of the match was Tyler Beck, with Nick David and Ben Dolan having great games, while Mikey Anderson and Joe Sunter were solid.

"Mark (Eyres) and I are so pleased to stop top-of-the-table Hush from scoring and we could have won it at the end with Lee McLaughlin missing a good chance late on."

The man of the match for Hush was centre-back Aiden McCallion.

Hush's title rivals Valley and Angel Reserves both took full advantage of the leaders' draw by recording big wins against Golden Last and Castle Tavern respectively.
