3 crowned champions and 10 get relegated

It’s been another busy day of ups and downs with teams across the country securing promotion, relegation and being crowned champions.

Rotherham United have lost their place in the Championship and are relegated to League One after losing 2-1 at West Bromwich Albion.

Another teams with the dreaded ‘R’ placed next to their name was Yeovil Town, their 16 year stay in the Football League comes to an end and they will be in the National League come next season.

One team that won’t be in non league is Leyton Orient who were crowned champions and secured promotion back to League Two for the first time since 2017.

Much of non league was finale day so a huge amount more was confirmed…

Stockport County have finally won promotion back to the National League – for the first time since 2015 – from the National League North as they beat Nuneaton 3-0.

The final team going down from the National League South was confirmed to be Truro City as they battled to a 3-3 draw with Slough, though Hungerford got a draw and three points from safety.

Farsley Celtic have been crowned the champions of the Northern Premier League Premier Division after beating their opposition 2-0, that side was Marine who had relegation confirmed too after Mickleover got a win at Bamber Bridge.

Whitehawk had their relegation from the Isthmian League Premier Division confirmed but won emphatically on finale day with a 4-0 win over Corinthian-Casuals though Wingate won 4-2 at already relegated Burgess Hill Town.

Basingstoke Town have been relegated from the Southern League Premier South Division after being unable to get a result against Taunton Town and other results not going our way.

Gresley are relegated from the Northern Premier League First Division East as they lost.

Another team going down is Romford from the Isthmian League North Division, they won 3-1 but so did Witham Town, both level on points but Witham better by just four goals so they stay up.

In the Isthmian League South Central Division, Molesey have their relegation confirmed. They lost and sides above them picked up points.

Remember that three points deduction that Greenwich were handed this week that saw them go from one point ahead of bottom place Guernsey to two points behind? Greenwich couldn’t pick up a win and Guernsey only needed a point which they ended up getting to stay up and send the London based side leaving the Isthmian League South East Division.

Aylesbury had their relegation from the Southern League Division One Central confirmed although they were already planning to leave anyhow as they merge with Bedgrove Dynamos to become Aylesbury Vale Dynamos.

 

Take a look at how social media users reacted to them along with photos of the celebrations on the next page.
