Gills And Cherries Relegated

Gillingham and Bournemouth will not be League One members next season and, disappointly, neither will be Nottm Forest.

The Gills and Cherries lost their battles against relegation. The Gills lost 2-1 at Leeds to guarantee their demotion, while the Cherries drew 1-1 at Carlisle. That result would have been enough if Cheltenham had lost to promotion chasers Doncaster, but they won 2-1 thanks to a late Paul Connor goal.

That goal also ended Donny's automatic hopes, with Nottm Forest going up instead after beating Yeovil 3-2. Doncaster will now face Southend in the play-offs, with Leeds facing Carlisle.
