Striker Robert Dunne netted a hat-trick as Killester-Donnycarney recorded a stunning 6-0 victory over Liffey Wanderers.
The former Sunderland striker has been a standout performer for the North Dublin outfit this season - and his three-goal salvo has put him top of the goalscoring charts on nine goals.
Killester subsequently rose to ninth in the table with their victory.
But they were aided by other strikes from former Dundalk youth Ronan Kilkenny, Darren Kavanagh and Sean Rogers.

Elsewhere, Crumlin United came from behind twice to claim a 2-2 draw against Bluebell United at the Red Cow.
The fixture, which was originally set to take place at the Armagh Road, saw former Glenavon forward Josh Doyle and Joshua Ojelabi score for Mick McLoughlin’s men.
But former St Patrick’s Athletic under-19 player Willo McAdams and Aidan Rafferty struck for Crumlin to salvage a point.
