Wellington AFC suffered a 6-0 defeat against Torpoint Athletic at the Carly Press Ground recently.
The Cornish visitors took control early on, scoring twice within the first seven minutes, and adding a third midway through the first half.
They then scored three more goals after the interval, leaving the Tangerines with a tough result to swallow.
The match began with promise for the Tangerines, as Max Edgecombe's long-range free-kick in the fourth minute forced Torpoint keeper Jack Flower into a save.
However, the visitors quickly established their lead in the fifth minute.
Wellington keeper Luke Vernon punched clear, only for the ball to fall to Sam Pearson, who lifted his effort over Vernon and the covering defenders into the net.
Torpoint capitalised on the hosts' unsteady start by scoring again two minutes later.
A clever flick inside the penalty area allowed James Rowe to find the back of the net.
The 23rd minute saw Torpoint extend their lead further.
A foul on Elijah Hiller went unpunished, and Wellington's skipper Josh Baker was sent to the sin bin.

With the Tangerines temporarily reduced to nine men while Hiller's injury was treated, Torpoint took advantage and Rowe scored his second goal to make it 3-0.
The visitors continued their onslaught in the second half, with a penalty awarded early on.
Although Vernon saved Curtis Damerell's spot-kick, Ethan Wright was quick to tap in the rebound.
Before the hour mark, Torpoint added a fifth.
Damerell broke through Wellington's defence and set up substitute Owen Haslam to score from close range.
Despite the hosts introducing five substitutes, all under-18s, Torpoint completed the scoring in stoppage time.
They were awarded a second penalty, with Damerell again stepping up.
Having seen his earlier effort saved, he sent this one in the opposite direction, beating Vernon and ensuring a 6-0 victory for his side.
Wellington's starting XI for the match comprised of Vernon, Luke Perry, Reegan Scotcher, Tom Hawkings, Mike Murphy, Lewis Oaten, Gabriel Plant, Max Edgecombe, Baker, and Danny Wordsworth.
Gustavs Andins, Harry Chetland, Freddie Jarman, Linkoln Nash, and Daniel Conway all made cameos from the substitutes bench.
