West Pier fight back to net late 3-2 win at Newlands

Tyler Richardson notched for Edgehill Reserves in their 3-1 home win against Scalby in the Scarborough & District Football League

Pier boss Johnny McGough said: “We were very poor the whole game, and though we got the win Newlands were the better side on a very difficult pitch to play football on.”

Newlands opened the scoring with a great free-kick from Drew McCoubrey, and Christopher Pearson doubled the lead before half-time.

Newlands boss Dan Sheader said: “We didn’t have any subs so I had to play in goal, one of our players suffered an injury after only five minutes so played the rest of the game with a broken toe so we were essentially down to 10 men.”

Pier got back into the game after the break with Sam Garnett’s superb 25-yard screamer into the top corner, then super-sub Paul Provins levelled before Neil Thomas grabbed the win with his 88th-minute header.

Will Jenkinson and keeper Brad Atkinson shared the man of the match award for Pier, while centre-backs Ricky Nock and Liam Mancrief were Newlands’ star men.

Pier are in cup action at Scalby this Saturday, while Pier play host to Edgehill Reserves in the league.
