SATURDAY LEAGUE / CUP & DIVISION ONE / Pier spot on to dump out rivals Edgehill
The sides played out an entertaining 3-3 draw before the game went straight to pens, Tyson Stubbings seeing his spot-kick saved by former Edgehill man Chris Ferrey to seal the 5-3 shoot-out win for Pier.
Earlier in the action, Edgehill led 1-0 through Joe Gallagher's penalty, but Liam Mancrief teed up Martin Cooper to fire Pier level heading into the break.

Hide AdIsaac Sands' goal handed Pier the lead after the break, but Edgehill turned the game on its head via two goals from Kieran Link.
It looked like Pier were going to exit the competition when Jamie Bradshaw saw his strike cannon back off the bar, but the same man was hauled down and the ref pointed to the spot with just eight minutes left on the clock - Cooper doing the honours from the spot to send the game to pens.
Cooper, Sean Exley, Sands, Neil Thomas and Bradshaw all scored from the spot for Pier, with Ferrey's superb save to deny Stubbings sealing the win for Andy Spivey's men.
Spivey singled out Sands as his star man, while Mancrief and Gary Thomas also impressed.
