Stamford had their Dr Martens Eastern Division promotion hopes snuffed out by a 2-1 defeat at fifth-placed Bashley on Saturday.
Bashley's supporters' player-of-the-year Craig Davis had an early shot blocked and both Richard Gillespie and Paul Sales went close before Graeme Gee fired the Foresters ahead in the 40th minute.
Two minutes later home keeper David Elm spilled a free kick allowing Nick Ashby to equalise, but Bash boss Barry Blankley was convinced the free kick should have been given the other way for handball.
Unperturbed, Bash reclaimed the lead three minutes into the second half when Sales controlled Davis's long throw on his chest and smacked a superb shot past Ludek Michalik.
Fleet Town are destined to finish the season third-to-bottom after losing 3-1 at Chatham Town.
Adam Douglas and two-goal Simon Austin plunged them heavily into arrears before substitute Brenton McClean hit back late on.
