Twenty minutes from time Edgehill Reserves restored their lead, Benny Davis' deflected strike evading the grasp of the Pier keeper.

The home side piled on the pressure looking for a leveller, but Edgehill's youthful side held on for a deserved win.

Edgehill boss Ricky Greening said: "Gary Hepples was man of the match for a strong display in central midfield, but every one of the lads were brilliant today against a very strong Pier side, I am very proud of all of them. We have now won 10 out of 10 so far this season."

Edgehill's first team also progressed into the next round, triumphing 3-1 at league leaders Hunmanby United.

Three minutes later it was 2-0 to Edgehill, Kieran Link scoring from the edge of the box.

United pulled a goal back through a Cameron Dobson penalty, one of only three shots on target against stand-in keeper Matthew Burling.
