Tividale 4 Belper Town 2
Tividale climbed off the bottom of Evo-Stik Northern Premier League First Division South with a much-needed 4-2 success against Belper Town.
The hosts struck on 21 minutes when Mark Danks rifled home following a corner from Ashley Jackson.
Tivi nearly doubled their lead when Craig Milligan's free-kick was blasted over by Chris Sterling.
On 38 minutes, Tividale's defensive frailties resurfaced when they were unable to clear from Ben Fairclough, swept the ball home to level the scores.
But, on the stroke of half-time, Tividale were back in front as Chris Rabone fired into the top corner.
Belper levelled eight minutes into the second half through Evan Garnett, but Tivi hit back almost immediately when Sterling rounded goalkeeper Danny Haystead and scored.
Tividale were reduced to 10 men when Mark Danks received his second yellow card. Belper pushed forward, but substitute Demetri Brown then broke away to curl home a superb effort to clinch the win.
