Dunmow Town romped to an 8-0 win over Little Oakley in their penultimate game of the season on Saturday.
They took the lead midway through the first half when Gael Kileba produced a fine piece of skill to set up Stuart Zanone to tap home.
The pair combined again two minutes later and Royals went 3-0 up on 39 minutes when Alex Yearwood's great ball into the box was converted by Nick Dembele.
Yearwood saw another cross go into the net off a Little Oakley defender, with Jack Buckland having a shot saved just before the break.
Dembele got his second goal nine minutes after the restart and completed a hat-trick from the penalty spot on 71 minutes.
Kileba got in on the act with a lovely finish to make it 7-0, with Mitchell May flicking the ball on for Freddie O'Brien to net his first goal of the season to complete the tally late on.
Royals host Lawford Lads in their last game of the season on Tuesday.

*High Easter have four games left to play in the Braintree & North Essex Sunday League, including a home double-header against Witham United on May 29.
