Glendinning took advantage of two defensive slips by Pier, Cameron Dobson pulling a goal back with a close-range finish just before half-time.

Three minutes into the second half a thumping 30-yard strike from Kile Fields rocketed into the top corner to restore the two-goal lead for Joe Hakings' troops.

A great team move was then finished off by Matty Griffiths to secure the win for the visitors, and Ben Luntley then set up Glendinning to complete his hat-trick.

Hakings said: "It was a great all-round team performance from the lads, with Glendinning and Luntley deserving special mentions."

Upset Pier chief Jamie Towse added: "We were awful today, they fully deserved the win and the only one of our players who deserves credit is Martin Cooper who played well in central midfield. We cannot use the excuse of players missing as I had an almost full squad to choose from, that is the worst I have ever seen this set of players perform."

Ayton Reserves also moved into the semi-finals with a 5-4 win at fellow Division Two side Fylingdales Reserves.

Fylingdales pulled it back to 3-2 before half-time through Lee Wright, but a second from Nicholls restored Ayton's two-goal lead after the interval.

Jamie Heritage then forced the ball home to seal the win for the visitors but there were a few scares for Steven Frederiksen's side as they conceded two late goals, both from Sam Bailey, the first a header and the second a penalty, and were forced to hang on.

Early in the second half, Keaton Watson had a great chance to level with an open goal at his mercy from 15 yards but he fluffed his chance and the Wolves rampaged forward soon after to net a third goal with a breakaway effort.

The hosts added a fourth before Steven Walker scored a superb second for the Blues, racing from his defensive midfield role, taking the ball past four opponents before smashing the ball into the top corner of the net from 20 yards with his weaker left foot.

The hosts soon added a fifth goal to seal the win.

Heslerton player-boss Billy Bown said: "It was another great effort from the lads, to travel over to Hull with only 11 players and compete throughout was a good effort."
