Super-sub Phil Dickens was named man of the match after scoring twice for Town, the first coming from a long Tyler Beck throw-in which he nodded on and beat the keeper and his second saw him take the ball around three Newlands players before firing the ball into the top corner from the edge of the area.

James Pinder also scored with a bullet header, and Pinder then turned provider as he slid Nathan Barber through one-on-one with the Newlands keeper.

"We had a few players missing including our keeper James Burrows with midfielder Chrissy Hannam doing a superb job standing in for him and all credit to the players for battling, throughout the positional changes."

Martin Cooper smashed in five goals as second-placed West Pier Reserves romped to an 8-0 win at home to Newby.

Cooper kicked the scoring off with a fine scissor kick from the edge of the box into the top corner. Then he made it 2-0 about a minute later after Benny Davis' shot was parried and Cooper jumped on it and poked it home.

Davis added a third when Cooper ran down the wing, and showed a bit of trickery to cross into Davis who fiercely volleyed home.

After 20 minutes, Edgehill skipper Josh Pickin floated a cross to the far post to pick out seasoned campaigner Noon, who rolled back the years as he flew off the ground and volleyed him from an acute angle.

Ten minutes later Kyle O'Toole levelled for Newlands, but in a lively first half Edgehill were back in front 10 minutes before the break when Tyler Richardson knocked a through ball for Marcus O'Flanagan, who lifted his shot over advancing keeper Joe Hitchcock.

Five minutes before the interval Dan HItchcock's bullet header made it 2-2 for Newlands, and the visitors looked to have claimed all three points five minutes from time when Lee Mccoughlin scored for Newlands.

In the final minute, ex-Leeds United academy player Lewis Keven struck a lovey shot which Hitchcock saved, from the resulting corner Noon powered home a header to give Edgehill a deserved point.
