Mixed Emotions On A Dramatic Final Day Of The Season

We say goodbye to Dagenham & Redbridge and Maidenhead United, who were both relegated this afternoon.

The Daggers were unable to claim the win that would have kept them in the division, Manny Duku levelling the game at Solihull Moors.

That sparked wild scenes at Wealdstone, who were convincing winners against FC Halifax Town.

Victory alone, secured with goals from Jack Cook, Kallum Cesay and Mustapha Carayol, wasn’t enough - they needed Dagenham to drop points, and when the news filtered through there were jubilant scenes.

Maidenhead United’s eight year stay is at and end because of the Stone’s success. Shawn McCoulsky’s two goals couldn’t save Alan Devonshire’s team.

There was play-off joy for Southend United, whose late season surge is enough to earn them a place.

The 0-0 draw at Gateshead wasn’t enough for the hosts, who miss out after a challenging final month of the campaign.

Oldham Athletic earned home advantage in the play-off Eliminator and will meet FC Halifax at Boundary Park after Joe Garner’s two goals put Ebbsfleet United to the sword.

Rochdale go into their game with Southend off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Braintree, Kyrell Lisbie got them both.

Champions Barnet finish the season with an incredible 102 points - goals from Mark Shelton, Adebola Oluwo and Lee Ndlovu ended things on a high at AFC Fylde.

York City head into the play-offs in fine shape. Ollie Pearce and Cameron John scored in the runners’ up’s 2-0 win at Eastleigh.

Aldershot Town also go into the summer with a win, Jack Barham and Tyler Frost secured a 2-1 victory over Yeovil Town.

There was a number of final day 1-1 draws.

Tamworth concluded an impressed and memorable season with a point at Altrincham, Alex Newby helped the Robins avoid defeat.
