Bridlington Town kept up their survival hopes after an important victory over rivals Sherwood Colliery.
Brid, fourth-bottom in NPL East, are one of seven teams separated by just four points.
Michael Coulson was denied when one on one with the keeper, as the Sherwood backline returned in time.
There was then a let-off for Mike Thompson's men as the visitors slid a penalty wide.
They were punished as Simon Heslop broke the deadlock, on 26 minutes, after Josh Barrett's shot was charged down.
Brid made sure of the points when the ball was deflected in by an away defender, from Ahmed Salam's free-kick.
Just goal difference is keeping Thompson's men below fifth-bottom Heaton Stannington.
