FGR Retain Conf Status

Forest Green retained their Conference status despite a 2-1 loss at Tamworth in the final round of matches.

Ex-Bulls Steve Guinan and Neil Mackenzie made late sub appearances in the match that saw both teams survive. The Gumpers survive only thanks to Southport's loss at Kettering that saw the Sandgrounders down instead, with Altrincham joining them after a 4-3 home loss to already relegated Eastbourne. Mark Beesley scored twice for Alty.

Result of the day came at Gateshead, who were thumped 7-1 by Newport. Gateshead had keeper Tim Deasy sent off and had no replacement on the bench. They led 1-0 at the time but Newport scored with all seven of their subsequent shots on target.
