Four second half goals sunk Pinchbeck United as they came up against United Counties League Premier Division North leaders Sherwood Colliery on Saturday.
The Knights competed in the first half having their own chances as they made the visit to Nottinghamshire.
But former Nottingham Forest and Notts County striker Craig Westcarr gave Sherwood the lead in the 50th minute.
Jobe Shaw then doubled that advantage eight minutes later, like the first goal it came from a corner kick.
The match was sealed on 65 minutes through Harry Bircumshaw before Aaron Korpal made it 4-0 with 12 minutes remaining.
Pinchbeck have made two new signings as they look to stay above the relegation spot with Hucknall Town who occupy that position having improved in recent weeks.
Jordan Neil has returned to the Knights after a spell at Blackstones while Clayton Wilkinson has also joined from Lincolnshire United.
The Knights were due to play Lincoln this weekend but due to them still being in FA Vase Pinchbeck are without a fixture on Saturday.
They are at home at the Sir Halley Stewart Playing Field on Wednesday (February 20) when they entertain Newark and Sherwood.
Knights: Cox, Cranfield, Fines, A Wallace, Brooks, Stevens, Young, Kanu, Tate Ward, Slater. Subs: Fogg, Bowen, H Wallace.
Attendance: 95.
