Synthonia welcomed FC Hartlepool to the Map Group stadium with the visitor's taking the three points in a 3-0 win.
It was another early goal against Synners which put them on the back foot when a 12th minute move saw the ball played forward to MIKE MCGEE on the left on the edge of the box and he staived off a challenge to fire into the net.
Hartlepool doubled their lead after the break with a through ball on the left to NATHAN BAYES in the box seeing him angle a shot into the far side of the goal.
A third goal late on sealed the win for the visitor's when a 93rd minute ball into the box from the right saw JACOB LAMB glance a header past Billingham keeper Ben Fairless and into the net.
A miserable night for Synthonia was made worse when striker Matty Willshaw was shown a red card for dissent in the 6th minute of stoppage time.
