SCOTT Kinge bagged a brace, but Tadley Calleva lost 3-2 away at high-flying Downton in Wessex League Division One on Saturday.
Kinge's goals saw Tadley level on two occasions, but they were unable to respond when Downton took the lead for a third time.
It's been a disappointing start to the season for Danny Dolan's men, who battled for the title last season.
They have taken just four points from their first four games and sit 12th in the table going into a home game against league leaders Portland United on Saturday.
