STRATFORD Town remain at the bottom of the table following a heavy 5-2 defeat away at newly-promoted Quorn.
The Bards are now the only side yet to pick up a point in the Southern League Premier Central this season.
Quorn took an early two-goal lead only for Stratford to draw level before the break courtesy of strikes from Ty Deacon and Fin Brennan.
However, the home side reclaimed the lead at half time and went on to score twice more after the break to condemn the Bards to defeat.
The result leaves Stratford bottom of the table after the Bards suffered a third straight league defeat.
Quorn broke the deadlock after just six minutes when Jake Weaver brought down Zak Goodson in the box and the latter scored the resulting penalty.
And the home side doubled their lead on 14 minutes as Rodrigo Goncalves saw his cross from the right deflect into the net.
The Bards responded three minutes later when Deacon produced a smart finish to halve the deficit.
And Brennan drew Stratford level on 25 minutes in a frantic start to the contest.
However, Quorn reclaimed the lead on 31 minutes when Goodson grabbed his second of the game after good work from Finn O’Boyle.
And the home side eventually sealed the points on 75 minutes as Cain Noble came off the bench to score Quorn’s fourth goal.
Noble scored his second of the game and Quorn’s fifth five minutes later as the Bards slipped to a third successive defeat.
Stratford are next in action against Bishop’s Stortford on Saturday, August 23 with kick-off at 3pm at the Arden Garages Stadium.
