Droylsden won away from home for the first time this year but it is likely to be too little too late as relegation from the Blue Square Premier still seems a certainty.
They trail Weymouth, currently in 20th spot, by a mammoth 15 points while sporting a vastly inferior goal difference.
With five games left to play they trail 20th-placed Weymouth by 15 points and have a vastly worse goal difference.
The visitors went ahead through a Kevin Lynch header from a 12th-minute corner as the teams got stuck into each other in a scrappy first half.
But their lead proved to be shortlived as Damien Reeves took a mere four-minutes to give the home side parity when he finished crisply into the bottom corner.
The rest of the game was a tight affair with neither side creating a glut of chances but the visitors took advantage of a rare opening in the 86th minute when Terry Fearns headed the winner.
Although staying in the Blue Square Premier is still a mathematical possibility, Droylsden fans will be readying themselves for the drop.
