EVESHAM United remain without a win in the Southern League Division One South this season after Saturday's 3-1 defeat at league leaders Willand Rovers.
The Robins sit third-bottom in the table with just three points from their five league games and were well beaten in Devon at the weekend.
Owen Howe converted from the spot for the hosts after just five minutes and Douglas Camilo added a second in the 58th to put the home side two goals up.
But the visitors halved the deficit when a Will Owens cross was converted by Levi Steele to give Evesham some hope they could get back into the game.
In the 86th minute, Charlie Wright sealed victory for the Devon side with a third and decisive goal to keep Willand top of the table following their fifth win in six league matches.
It was a fourth defeat in a row in all competitions for Mike Ford's side, who have struggled in the early months of the new season.
Having lost a number of players from their near promotion in the 2022/23 campaign, manager Ford may well be looking at competing at the other end of the division in the coming nine months.
Their next match is a clash at Frome Town on Tuesday evening (September 26).
