Welfare fell behind midway through the first half when Adam Scott's shot took a wicked deflection and looped in.

The first real bit of attacking football on the ground led to the visitors’ equaliser on 32 minutes when Cian Guest was sent clear and he squared for Jamie Austin to score his sixth goal in four matches.

Welfare were guilty of conceding possession too often and this led to the home side going ahead again on 75 minutes when a wayward pass led to a swift counter attack which was finished off by Jack Hollis-Smith.

Armthorpe boss Lee Morris, frustrated at the referee’s decision-making, was sent off after the final whistle after receiving his second yellow card for dissent.
