The Pier chief said: "Logan was the star man but there were several other great displays from the entire team. Our back four of Shaun Dodson, Niall Gibb, Ady Blake and Sam Garnett deserve a mention. Credit goes to Newlands for a tremendous effort."

Nock added: "Their fourth goal looked clearly offside, Logan was the difference between the two sides.

"The whole team played very well and put in a good shift so they deserve to share the man of the match award."
