BINFIELD FC climbed up to third in the Hellenic Premier Division after beating basement boys Shrivenham 5-0 on Saturday.
The Oxfordshire side more than matched the Moles until they had goalkeeper Gary Eggleton sent off for bringing down Carl Davies in the box on the hour mark.
The striker stepped up to convert from the spot and the hosts then blew away Shrivy with a devastating 20-minute spell.
Davies scored twice more to complete his first Binfield hat-trick and both Adam Morris and Joel Havermans also found
the net before the 80th minute.
The Moles will be looking to continue their fine form when they go to league leaders Marlow on Saturday (3pm ko).

Ross Butler and Tom Larman scored either side of a Callum Eagle strike to give lowly Abingdon a vital victory in their fight against relegation.
Justin Clayton rescued a point for Ascot United with a dramatic injury-time equaliser at Wantage Town.
The hosts looked to be heading for a narrow 1-0 win until Clayton netted in the 95th minute.
In Hellenic Division One East, Bracknell Town were without a game at the weekend but saw rivals Finchampstead close in on them after a 3-1 win over Penn & Tylers Green.

Sandhurst Town conceded in the 93rd minute to
lose 4-3 to Raynes Park Vale in the Combined Counties Premier Division.

Conner Close made it 3-3 from the penalty spot only for Raynes to snatch victory deep into injury time.
Eversley & California moved up to second in Combined Counties Division One after beating Knaphill FC 3-0.
An early own goal gave Eversley the lead and Matt Baker sealed the win with a second-half brace.
Unfortunately the victory was marred by a broken leg to Kieron Thorne and vandalism to Eversley's home ground that meant the match was played at Knaphill.
