Billy Law secured the three points for Hemsworth Miners Welfare, who had to play with ten men for 40 minutes in the 3-2 win at Staveley Miners Welfare.
A fast and furious first half saw Nick Guest and Jed Wilkinson give the Wells the lead on two occasions, only for in-form Staveley to peg them back.
A spanner was thrown into the works when Sam Jones saw red for a high tackle, five minutes into the second half.
But as time was running out, Law struck. Staveley were also reduced to ten men in the dying minutes as Liam Nelthorpe was sent off.
