The home side started strongly but failed to take advantage of a sluggish opening 15-20 minutes from Angel, and the visitors soon made them pay for this as they surged into a 5-0 lead by the interval.

Roscoes went down to 10 on 55 minutes as a player had to leave early, so with no subs the hosts had to battle on and Angel picked them off at regular intervals to win 11-0.

Six Ayton Reserves players stepped up, while the visitors also had to sign three players on the morning of the game to get 11 players to the game at Snainton, with two established first-team players crying off a couple of hours before kick-off.

Shaun Dolan, who took charge of the first game since the departure of player-boss Mark Plumpton last weekend, said: "All 11 lads deserve a lot of credit for battling for whole game against a strong Newlands side. Luke Dunn was the man of the match, the score could have been a lot higher without his fine saves in goal."

The hosts hit the bar and had one cleared off the line, but the villagers made Pier work hard for a win despite playing the full 90 with a man less and almost forced extra-time when a late header flashed a foot wide of the goal.

Pier boss Paddy Parke said: "That is three wins on the bounce for the lads now and things are starting to look up for us.

"Danny Cooper was man of the match but Tolliday also worked very hard up front all game and should have had more goals."

Player-boss Jamie Wassall said his whole Dales team deserved to share the man of the match award for a great battling performance.
