The Saints promising early season form was halted as newcomers to the league Ellington FC deservedly grabbed there first win in the Alliance.
The Quay nearly went ahead early when Brandon Williams nearly carried on is great start to the season with another goal but his angled shot went just wide.
That was the highlight of the half for the Saints as the home side took charge going ahead from the penalty spot when Ancrum brought down there winger in the area. Forward Adam Bains stepped up and sent the returning Ellis Burns the wrong way to give his side the lead.
Bains had a chance to double the lead from the spot agin five minutes later when Williams brought him down in the area after he cut inside from the left. He made no mistake again smashing the ball into the corner with Burns diving the right way but still helpless to stop it.
Ellington grabbed a third before the break a long ball over the top sent there winger away and he crossed perfectly for Leason to bury his header into the corner.
Noel Clynch came on for Scott Ramsay at half time but the home side carried on where they left off as Bains completed his hat-trick tapping home from close range after more poor defending.
Mark Henderson replaced Ferrier late on and almost grabbed another goal for his record tally as he glanced a header wide of the post.
A Poor day for the Saints need a response on Wednesday when they take on the league leaders Jesmond at the Barking Dog
