Roffey saw their goalkeeper forced off with injury and his replacement's first job was to pick the ball from his own net as Allen blasted in from close range after the visitors failed to clear a 25th-minute corner.
Three minutes later it was 4-0 as Charlton Gauvain put Sam Murray through one-on-one to score before Fallaize made it 5-0 four minutes from half time.
The hosts began to target their club-record 11-0 win which has stood since January 2014 when Murray got his second five minutes after the break as he tapped in Brandon Wallace's cross for Guernsey's sixth.

Fin Patterson's excellent finish into the bottom corner made it 8-0 with 21 minutes to go as Guernsey passed their mark for the most goals scored in a game this season which was set in the 7-6 win over Shoreham last month.
The last time the Green Lions had scored eight goals in a game was their 8-2 win at Staines Town in February 2022, having also hit eight goals in an 8-1 win over Three Bridges in September 2014 and 8-0 wins over Croydon in September 2012 and Knaphill in December 2011.
