Jersey Bulls consolidated third place in Combined Counties Premier South as they thrashed mid-table Sandhurst Town 6-1.
Kieran Lester gave Bulls a perfect start as he reacted quickest to Francis Lekimamati's deflected pass to smash home after four minutes.
Rai Dos Santos doubled the lead after 23 minutes before Shane Qoloni pulled a goal back for Sandhurst three minutes later - the first goal Bulls have conceded in 11 games.
But Bulls put the game beyond doubt with three goals in a four-minute spell - Dos Santos made it 3-1 after half an hour before he set up Jonny Le Quesne to smash in a fourth off the cross bar two minutes later and Lekimamati tapped in a fifth after good work by Toby Ritzema.
Ritzema headed in Bulls' sixth 10 minutes into the second half after a free-kick was swung into the penalty area.
The islanders had numerous chances to increase their lead - Jake Prince hit the post with eight minutes to go on his return to the club after a serious knee injury.
The victory was the third time this season Bulls have scored six goals and extended their unbeaten run since new boss Elliott Powell took over in the summer to 17 games.
"I was delighted to get ahead as early as we did in the game, and from then on we were pretty relentless, so it was a good day at the office," Powell told 成人快手 Radio Jersey.
"Maybe second half we dropped off ever so slightly, which is to be expected as the conditions were pretty tough."
