Pilkington scored in added time to claim a 1-2 win at the Bowl on Saturday night as the Ravens unbeaten run came to an end.
Rick Holden’s side had been unbeaten in five but failed to take their chances on a frustrating Saturday night.
The game’s first real chance came the way of Adam Adebiyi as he fired just wide from the edge of the box after showing good strength to hold off the defender and craft some space.
Charlie Higgins then had a good chance to open the scoring moments later as he was slipped in behind, but fired over the bar.
With few openings at either end, Pilkington finally broke the deadlock on the 70th minute as Ryan Beigan scored from a tight angle to make it 0-1.
Adebiyi scored the equaliser five minutes later from Ste Whitley’s corner as he fired home on the edge of the six yard box.
With the game tightening up and looking destined for a draw, Kyle Robinson-Murray was played in behind the Ravens back line and showed great composure to round Mark Blair and fire into the empty net.
The Ravens next game is on Saturday at home to familiar rivals Westdidsbury and Chorlton.
