Sheringham recovered from a half-time deficit to maintain their two point advantage at the top of the Anglian Combination Premier Division.
The Shannocks were in danger of losing top spot to Hoveton Wherrymen on Saturday when they trailed at the break to their closest challengers, with Alex Fitzgerald scoring for the hosts.
But Jamie Nelson replied in the second half to maintain Sheringham's unbeaten record in all competitions this season ahead of Saturday's Mummery Cup tie at home to Mundford.
They also have a big Norfolk Senior Cup tie to look forward to at the Rec, having been drawn at home to Norwich United from Bostik League North in the last 16 on Saturday, November 18.
Wymondham had the chance to narrow the gap to the top two with games in hand and they duly obliged as goals from Liam Moriarty (2), Chris Holmes and Ethan Hall gave them a 4-2 win over Aylsham. Rhys Cousins and Jack Oliver responded for the visitors.
