Guernsey FC consolidated third place in the Southern Combination Premier Division after a 7-2 win over Crawley Down Gatwick at Victoria Park.
It was the first time Crawley Down Gatwick had visited the island since they were on the receiving end of Guernsey's biggest-ever win – an 11-0 victory in January 2014.
Guernsey, who beat their opponents 6-2 in December, ensured another big win over the Sussex side as they started superbly – Will Fazakerley firing home after just 13 seconds having been set up by Charlton Gauvain.
The islanders were 3-0 up inside the opening seven minutes thanks to Ross Allen's sixth-minute strike before Fazakerley headed in his second moments later.
Guernsey goalkeeper Josh Addison kept the lead intact with some good saves before Sam Murray made it 4-0 in the 37th-minute as he reacted after Brandon Wallace's effort came back off the bar.
Gauvain made it 5-0 two minutes later before the visitors pulled a goal back in first-half stoppage time through Alex Tidy.
It became 6-1 12 minutes into the second half when Allen got his second of the game before Murray and Fazakerley both went close to adding to the tally.
Guernsey got their seventh goal when Callum Le Lacheur headed in at the far post from Wallace's 81st-minute cross from the left before Oli Leslie made it 7-2 in the 89th minute.
