Boston Town edged a point closer to the play-off places as they bllitzed struggling Shirebrook.
Chris Funnell’s side got off to a sensational start as Jordan Nuttell converted a Harry Limb cross to score one of the fastest goals ever seen at the Mortgages For You Stadium.
Darren Trapps, commentating for Lincolnshire Non-League Radio, clocked the goal-time at just 14 seconds.
Stand-in captain Luke Wilson added a second after 12 minutes before Harry Limb inevitably got in on the act to leave the shell-shocked visitors reeling at 3-0 down before the midway point of the first half.
Shirebrook, making their first ever visit to the Mortgages For You Stadium, managed to get back onto an even keel after that but never threatened to drag themselves back into the game.
Lucas Dakin came off the bench to make it 4-0 with 10 minutes to go – making it the Poachers’ biggest home league win since they beat Pinchbeck by the same score in August 2023.
Boston Town remain in 6th place but have now closed the gap on 5th-placed Newark Town to just 2 points.
Town: Portas, Burdass (Millar), Smith, Zaluzinskis (Chew), Hudson, Wilson, Adams, Maddison, Nuttell, Limb (Dakin), Bayliss; unused sub: Borbely
