Shane Kelsey hit the winner for Hemsworth at promotion rivals Hallam

Shane Kelsey propelled Hemsworth Miners Welfare to second in the Toolstation NCEL Division One table after the winner in the 2-1 victory at Hallam.

The win took Hemsworth above fellow promotion rivals Hallam, who dropped to sixth.

The match was watched by 325 people – the highest in the NCEL on Non League Day.

Bill Law gave Hemsworth an early lead following a scramble that saw Jack Dennison deny Kelsey and Nash Connolly.

Hallam responded with a sensational goal from Micah Bishop, who struck a 30-yard volley past Hemsworth goalkeeper Chris Snaith with a bit of help off the crossbar.

Hemsworth grabbed all three points on the hour mark with Kelsey scoring with a trickling effort.

The former Shaw Lane Aquaforce striker almost sealed the points with a spectacular strike that flew just over the crossbar.
