Another two Snainton goals turned the game on its head but Jordan Scott, on his Pier debut, scored the leveller.

Pier player-boss Johnny McGough said: "We were the better team by far I thought and on another day we could have scored six or seven.

"A hard-working display from Jordan Scott earned him the man of the match award."
