Billingham Synthonia kept their promotion hopes alive with a comfortable 7-0 win over Stokesley to put the pressure on the ENL Second Division top three.
Synners took the lead on 21 minutes when James Paylor headed in a corner by Macauley Langstaff, then Sam Garvie rounded the keeper for the second.
Langstaff made it 3-0 following a short corner with Max Craggs by half time.
A Stokesley defender put a Steven Roberts cross into his own net for the fourth , Chris Dickinson headed the fifth from a Langstaff cross, and Garvie ran through for the sixth just after the hour. Jason Blackburn finished off the scoring.
Stokesley, who have only won twice all season in the league, are now relegated.
Team Northumbria, in fifth, dropped points with a 1-1 draw at Ryton and Crawcrook, while Gary Mitchell scored the only goal of the game for Willington at Thornaby.
