Callum Peter grabbed the winner as the Tromode side enjoyed a fine victory.
Tom Smith netted their other and there was also an own goal as they fought off their more experienced opponents.
Joe Murley and Karl Gartland had replied for the Miners but there was no denying Gymns, whose goalkeeper Steven Downward was in fine form.
Onchan also pulled off a big surprise of their own, seeing off Ramsey 8-3 as the goals flew in at Onchan Stadium.
Fletcher Craine and Stuart Faragher were the heroes with hat-tricks apiece.
Matthew Ogden and Daniel Bentham notched the others on a memorable day for the club.
Ramsey’s replies through John Reynolds, Kaylen Watterson and Jonny Bignall weren’t enough.
Colby were too strong for southern neighbours Ronaldsway.
They ran out 5-0 home winners, courtesy of a Luke Samuels penalty, a Jordan Clarke double and further goals from Jordan Primrose-Smith and Nigel Goldsmith.
Holders Corinthians were also too strong for their neighbours, seeing off Douglas Royal 8-1.
Stuart Smith (penalty), Michael Walsh, David Bignall, Rob Bentley (two), Mike Quine, Jamie Stoy and an own goal ensured a comfortable afternoon.

They replied in the second half through an Ashley Humphrey penalty.
Robbie Ward and John Quirk netted as Old Boys won 2-0 at Michael, while Neil Withers, Josh Clancy and Paul Timpson grabbed the goals as Marown defeated Braddan 3-0.
