A neat goal from Rich Tolliday handed Pier the lead after five minutes, but Tyson Stubbings levelled matters up just two minutes later for Edgehill after a hotly-disputed corner wasn't cleared properly.

The game swung in Edgehill's favour on 30 minutes when they were awarded a penalty, again to the frustration of the Pier contingent, after a hand-ball from Sam Garnett, Sean Exley smashing in from the spot.

Will Jenkinson's men then had midfielder Martin Cooper sent to the sin-bin, but battled back, Si Reeves firing in to make it 2-2.

Steve Clegg's men got their noses back in front heading in at the break though, Frank Belt the man getting the goal on 45 minutes.

Pier were reduced to 10 men just five minutes into the second half, keeper Jordan Wood being sent for an early bath for dissent.

A second pen from Exley and late strike from Ryan Link handed Edgehill a 5-2 victory.

Skipper Joe Gallagher was Edgehill's star man after a solid display out of position at centre-back, with Ryan Link also impressing in midfield.

Pier player-boss Jenkinson singled out goalscorers Tolliday and Reeves as his side's stand-out performers.

"I can't fault any of them, they gave everything," said Jenkinson.

"We pushed and pushed, but unfortunately it wasn't our day."
