Cambridge Promoted After Play-Off Win


Cambridge have returned to the Football League following nine years away after beating Gateshead 2-1 in today's Conference Play-Off Final.

Liam Hughes and ex-Heed player Ryan Donaldson put the U's in charge of the game before veteran striker Jack Lester netted for the Heed with ten minutes left to set up a hectic finale.

19,613 watched the game with the U's ending the game with 10 men after defender Ian Miller was stretchered off, leaving seven minutes of injury time at the end. 

The win means that U's boss Richard Money has completed the Wembley double of promotion and the FA Trophy this season.
