Sunday's well took full advantage of mistakes made by DLSP in a crucial AIL Division Two game at Musgrave Park yesterday.
The mid-table Cork side picked off their chances as the Leinster visitors tried desperately to keep in touch with the leaders.
The decisive try came in injury time when John O'Neill took advantage of a desperate DLSP attempt to move the ball from behind their own line and he got the touch when a visiting back knocked on. Richard Daly converted to secure victory.
Ironically the first try also came from a DLSP mistake. Mark McGuinness had put the visitors into the lead with a penalty but Colm Hayes kicked ahead and then followed up to beat the defence to make it 5-3 for Sunday's Well.
Rory Cogan snaffled a second try for the Cork side and Daly converted before McGuinness landed a penalty to leave it 12-6 at the break.
