The Pitmen were not in action on Tuesday night, but Lowestoft Town's 2-1 success over Worcester City means they can no longer lift themselves out of the bottom three.

Connor Deeks got the winner as the Trawlerboys came from behind to a Lee Hughes strike and condemn Town to life in the Evo-Stik League Premier Division next term.

They could come up against Staffordshire rivals Stafford Rangers in 'El Staffico' next season, but Boro's fight for the Evo-Stik League Division One South title went down to the final day.

Second-placed Shaw Lane Aquaforce twice trailed against rock-bottom Tividale, but snatched a last-minute winner.

Stafford need a point at third-placed Coalville Town on Saturday to clinch the crown and automatic promotion to the Evo-Stik League Premier Division.

Were they to lose, they would need Shaw Lane to drop points at Rugby Town.
