The Seasiders opened the scoring on five minutes when Matty Dixon intercepted a pass from the Pickering keeper, before backheeling the ball to Norfolk, who tapped into the empty net.

Four minutes later the hosts’ lead was doubled as a sublime cross from Dixon saw Dennison tap home at the back post.

Brid restored their two-goal lead eight minutes later as a corner was cleared only as far as Eddie Rogerson, who excellently slotted the ball into the bottom left corner to regain the Seasiders’ two-goal advantage.

The home side made it 4-1 just before the hour mark as a cross from the left was headed in by Norfolk.

Dennison completed the scoring on 74 minutes with a spot-kick after he had been fouled by the Pikes keeper.
