Glasshoughton were behind from the third minute when Lewis O'Connor opened the scoring.
Michael Jepps doubled their advantage in the second half, but it was a nervy finish for them after Jamie Simpson pulled a goal back late on for the hosts.
Welfare's fightback fell just short, however, as they lost 2-1 to stay in 14th place, with Worsbrough in eighth.
