Hemsworth Miners Welfare 2-3 Armthorpe Welfare
Armthorpe striker Liam Radford scored in this side’s victory at Hemsworth
Armthorpe Welfare pulled off an unlikely victory at Hemsworth, who only ended Bridlington’s 12-match winning run a few days ago.
Full-back Danny Taylor put the Welfare ahead with a great angled volley on 35 minutes.
Hemsworth forced an equaliser through Richard Collier on 57 minutes, but Gareth Roberts headed in a Jason Hearsley corner on 67 minutes to put the Welfare back ahead and Liam Radford finished well from just inside the box three minutes later.
A stunning 35 yard effort from Nash Connolly on 77 minutes set up a frantic end to the game which got more nervous for the Welfare on 84 minutes when Darren Mansaram was sent off following his second yellow card offence.
The home side hit the woodwork through Nick Guest and Armthorpe goalkeeper Adam Stevens pulled off a great late save as the Wells failed to snatch a point.
Armthorpe have now moved above Parkgate, but Mike Carmody’s men remain in the relegation zone.
