West Pier shock Division One high-flyers Wombleton in Gordon Harrison Memorial Trophy quarter-final shoot-out

Stand-in keeper Neil Thomas made the decisive penalty save for Pier, writes Andy Stanton.

Dec Richardson had a couple of chances for the visitors in the first half and maybe should have done a little better.

In the second half Wanderers had a few long-range strikes but nothing to worry veteran keeper Scott Wardman. Wombleton seemed most dangerous from corners but there were some great last-ditch headers from Neil Thomas, Mikey Pickering and Si Rigg.

With not long to go Richardson should have scored but his effort hit the crossbar, then, in the final minute, with an open goal at his mercy, veteran Paul Provins curled his effort just wide of the post.

The Pier penalty-scorers in the 7-6 shoot-out win were Provins, Josh Welburn, Richardson, Rigg, Thomas, Pickering and Jenkinson.

The Pier men of the match were the midfield trio of Jenkinson, Thomas and Sam Garnett, with Pickering, Rigg and Welburn all having solid games at the back.

Bagby & Balk lifted themselves from the foot of Division Two with an unlikely victory over leaders Heslerton.

In a scrappy affair the hosts went ahead, with a hint of offside, through Reece Windle.

The visitors hit the post and fired over when well-placed and drew level within the hour with a cute finish from Morgan Kendrew, latching onto a fine through-ball from Jamie Atkinson.

A mistake in the Heslerton back line gifted Windle his second and Bagby’s ultimate winner.
