Guernsey FC dropped out of the top five in the Southern Combination Premier Division after a 6-2 loss at Forest Row.
The in-form Sam Murray had given the island side a 12th-minute lead before Ryan Green equalised from a corner 13 minutes later.
The hosts went into the break 3-1 up as they scored twice in a three-minute spell just before half time - Matty Feeney-Hill beat the offside trap to race through and make it 2-1 before George Cousins added a third.
The game was over a minute after the restart when Cousins cut in from the left and beat two defenders before firing in his side’s fourth goal.
Feeney-Hill made it 5-1 from the penalty spot minutes later after Gil Hunter - who was making his first Guernsey start - was penalised for a foul in the box.
Murray took his tally to 21 goals for the season - and his 12th in six games - as he converted a 68th-minute Frazer Maginnis cross to make it 5-2.
Murray had an effort cleared off the line seven minutes later before Cousins completed his hat-trick soon after to round off the hosts’ win.
Guernsey are now sixth in the Southern Combination Premier Division table, a point off the top five, while Forest Row are eighth.
