Unbeaten Folkestone Invicta are up to third in Isthmian Premier.
Jay Saunders handed new signing Joe Pigott a full debut but it was strike partner Ade Yusuff who struck twice in a 4-1 home win over Whitehawk at Margate.
Yusuff had already scored the opener by the time on-loan Ebbsfleet midfielder Maxx Manktelow made it 2-0 inside nine minutes with a terrific finish from 20 yards.
Yusuff added a third on the stroke of half-time from the penalty spot and Donell Thomas made it 4-0 just past the hour mark.
Charlie Lambert immediately pulled one back from the penalty spot while Folkestone know it could have been more as they had two goals ruled out, including one from Pigott.

Welling sit in the bottom four following a 3-1 loss at high-flying Dulwich.
Having missed a penalty against Whitstable in the FA Cup last week, former Ebbsfleet and Bromley man Anthony Cook put Dulwich ahead from the spot – an incident which saw Welling reduced to 10 men with Lekan Majoyegbe dismissed – and Amadou Kassarate doubled their lead.
Ruben Shakpoke pulled one back for the 10 men in the second half and the Wings hit the woodwork through skipper Jack Paxman before Cook made the game safe late on.
