Cal Andrews opened the scoring with a great individual effort and added two to seal his hat-trick, Kene Knowles making it 4-0 at the break.

After half-time Pier made it 4-2 with a great finish into the far corner from Bobby Cappleman and Andrew Gill’s cracking half-volley, but Newby pulled clear with an Ollie Bennett double and a second for Knowles.

Pier boss Dave Hooper said: “It was our first game and my first in charge since I managed the 1sts in the early 2000s, so I’m getting to know the players and their positions but overall it wasn't a bad performance.

"We were constantly making subs as I needed to see all 15 of our players play today and made multiple changes in the first half.”
