Guernsey FC thrashed 7-0 by leaders Farnham Town
Guernsey FC suffered the second-biggest loss in their history as they were thrashed 7-0 at Isthmian league South Central's runaway leaders Farnham Town.
A youthful Green Lions side conceded four first-half goals before letting in three more after the break as they occupy the final relegation place in the division.
They are a point off 18th-placed South Park with a game in hand, but their goal difference is now seven worse than their opponents after the defeat at the Memorial Ground.
Jordan Gallagher gave the hosts a 14th-minute lead before Sam De St Croix doubled the advantage 10 minutes later for Farnham, who are 12 points clear at the top.
Gallagher completed his hat-trick before half time as he reacted quickest to Harry Cooksley's 28th-minute shot that was saved before he converted Great Evans' cross seven minutes before the break.
Gallagher got his fourth, and Farnham's fifth, six minutes into the second half as he curled into the top corner before De St Croix and Kai Tanner each found the net in a three-minute period with 15 minutes to go.
Guernsey's record loss is 8-0, which they have suffered twice - against Merstham in November 2014 and Basingstoke Town in December 2022.
They face fourth-placed Ascot United on Saturday in the final game at Footes Lane before they move to their new home at Victoria Park.
