The young Larks were beaten 3-2 at Devizes Town Reserves on Tuesday 12th August in their third Premier Division game of the campaign.
Ben Wickens struck for the visitors in a first half that ended 1-1.
James Horrocks was their marksman in the second period at The Grist Environmental Ground – and the game seemed to be heading for a 2-2 draw.
But Athletic, who won their previous two matches and scored eight goals in the process, conceded what they described as a worldie to hand Devizes their first victory of 2025-26.
Jordan Anning, Eoin O’Grady and Jacob Reader were on target for Town, who had lost their three previous fixtures.
