Edgehill now only have two games left after their 4-0 win at Newlands, and they hold a four-point lead over Pier, though the defending champions do have three games in hand.

Jackson Jowett gave Edgehill the lead after 12 minutes, and 15 minutes later Lloyd Henderson doubled their lead.

Just after the hour mark Edgehill's man of the match Aaron Jenking made sure of the win for the visitors, and he rounded off the scoring 15 minutes from time with his second goal.

Jack Hakings impressed for Newlands.

West Pier kept up their pursuit of Edgehill with a hard-earned 2-0 win at a plucky Goal Sports team.

Pier missed a few chances before they finally broke the deadlock on 37 minutes when Neil Thomas' deflected driven shot from 18 yards went past the home keeper to make it 1-0.

From the kick-off Martin Cooper dispossessed a Goal Sports defender and ran through on goal to finish nicely.

After the interval the hosts had a couple of chances to get back into the game, but Will Jenkinson, Zac Hansen and Neil Thomas also spurned opportunities to increase Pier's lead.

Jack Brown and Rich Tolliday both impressed upon stepping up from Pier's second string to the firsts.
