It proved to be debut to remember for Plymouth Argyle starlet Louis Rooney, as he netted twice for the Pilgrims in their final day demolition of Hartlepool United.
Tyler Harvey's first two goals of the season for Argyle ensured that they were 2-0 up inside the opening 25 minutes before Rooney opened his account in the 58th minute.
Three minutes later, skipper Curtis Nelson added a fourth and it was then left to Rooney to complete his brace with the Pilgrims' fifth of the afternoon seven minutes from time.
The afternoon was made even more memorable by the travelling contingent of 521 Hartlepool fans, many of whom were dressed as Star Wars stormtroopers for the 387 mile round journey.
One of the most pleasing aspects of Argyle's display was that all of their goals were scored by players who had previously come through the club's youth system - although Nelson had joined the Pilgrims as an apprentice at 16, after being released by Stoke City.
In recent years, many players who have come through the club's youth scheme have either left before making a first team appearance - such as Lloyd Jones, Sam Gallagher or Christian Walton who departed Home Park for Liverpool, Southampton or Brighton respectively (Walton did return to the Pilgrims on loan this season) - or been released before being given the opportunity to develop to their true potential like Isaac Vassell or Luke Young, who are now plying their trades at Truro City and Torquay United.
If Rooney and Harvey can break into the Argyle first team, then it will give the Pilgrims' supporters their first locally produced players that they can identify with since Joe Mason, who moved to Cardiff City in 2011.
Meanwhile, Argyle now have a two-legged 'Dockyard Derby' Play-off semi-final with Portsmouth to look forward to. Argyle travel to Fratton Park to face Pompey in the first leg on Thursday before the re-match at Home Park on the following Sunday.
