After a goalless first half, Jenkinson broke the deadlock within a minute of the restart, seizing upon hesitancy in the visiting defence.

Jack Hakings levelled from a setpiece but Jenkinson struck his second after a defensive error from Jordan Mintoft.

Edgehill went 3-1 up in the 70th minute through Kieran Link's fine finish from the edge of the penalty area, and five minutes later they added a fourth from the penalty spot, Jenkinson completing his hat-trick after Dean Craig was fouled by Jason Prosser, who otherwise had a great game for Newlands.

The win was sealed in the 77th minute when Craig turned his marker and fired his shot in off the post.

Kurtis Henderson, at centre-back, was the man of the match for Edgehill, while central midfielder Link also shone again for the hosts, Prosser standing out for Newlands.

A first-half hat-trick from Cameron Dobson put United in control, the third of his goals a superb lob from the halfway line.

Mike Johnson made it four with a cracking 16-yard strike into the top corner, James Pinder's shot completing the scoring for the visitors.

Adam Entwhistle was named as man of the match for a Sleights side that played their fair share of free-flowing football but couldn't take their chances and United could.

Seamer, who were depleted and only had a bare 11, battled to the end and had their man of the match, keeper Darrol Lewis, not made a string of fine saves the margin of defeat could have been far higher.
