League Two final day: Northampton promoted as Mansfield miss play-offs

Told you it's always good at the end, isn't it? Almost had another astonishing twist in the tale with that scoreline at Mansfield. And I'm going to go and have a half an hour's lie down before the Championship starts, I think. Oh, I'm not? OK. Let's... Let's show you what's happened today, shall we, then? Bradford 0, Stevenage 1, Reeves with a goal for Steve Evans' already-promoted side. Bradford sit in the play-offs courtesy of a 1-1 draw against Leighton Orient. Jordan Brown opened the scoring for Leighton Orient. Brad Halliday, with his fifth goal in 328 games, levelled it up for Bradford, and that was enough for them. Riley Harbott and Gale scored for Mansfield, but they needed another goal to squeeze into those play-off places, and they just couldn't quite find it. Mansfield win on the day, but lose out on the play-off places. Grimsby 1, Wimbledon 0, Ogundiri own goal giving Grimsby the victory for Wimbledon. What a dreadful finish. Two wins in 23 league games. Harrogate 1, Rochdale 1, relegated Rochdale leading through Jimmy Kierhan. Toby Simms, with his first senior goal, equalised a quarter of an hour or so for the end for Harrogate. Newport 2, Croix-Alexandre 2, two more Omar Bogle goals. He's got 19 for the season now, eight in his last eight. Rio Adebisi got one of the goals and broke the other for Croix-Alexandre and finished with a point away from home. Gillingham win through an Alexander penalty at Salford, but Salford still managed to make the play-off places. Stockport miss out on automatic promotion. They took the lead against Hartlepool, the Callum Camps penalty. Callum Cook equalised for Hartlepool in the second half. Ben Killip saved a second Callum Camps penalty in what was a virtuoso display from the Hartlepool goalkeeper and it finishes all square, as it did at Gander Green Lane. Kouassi, with his first goal since September, put Sutton United in front. A Joe Kizzy-owned goal earned Carlisle the point. Swindon playing in front of their new manager Michael Flynn today, beat Crawley by two goals to one. Charlie Austin not being as prolific as he would have wished this season. Hadn't scored his previous eight, but he scored today. Jake Kane got the other goal for Swindon, his first senior goal. Dominic Telford pulled a goal back for Crawley, his 15th of the campaign. They finish with a defeat, but they won't care because they have survived. They're going to finish third from bottom of the table and that's good enough. Tramiel Rovers nil. Northamptontown, one and 12 months on. Finally, John Brady and his Northamptontown team celebrate thanks to Sam Hoskins' terrific first-half goal. It's 22nd of the season. Another from outside the box. Five of those from outside the box. Northampton win and go up. And Walsall, after one win in their previous 22 games, finish on a high. Connor Wilkinson got the opening goal. Isaac Hutchinson with his eighth of the season. Bobby Faulkner, 18-year-old Doncaster player, got a goal back six minutes from time, but that was as good as it got for Doncaster. Table looks like this. Ah, Leyton Orient. Champions there. They've been champions for a few weeks now. Stevenage already promoted, of course. And there's a confirmation. Northamptontown finish in third place on 83, four points clear of Stockport. Carlisle, Bradford and Salford have the play-off places. So it is Stockport against Salford in the play-offs and Carlisle against Bradford. Manchester United just miss out on 75. Barrow, top half finish for them. Top ten finish for them. That's really good. Their best finish in 53 years. Swindon, Grimsby and Tranmere all in the top half. Down at the bottom, it's grim viewing, isn't it? But there we are. 38 points for Rochdale. They are relegated. 43 would have been enough to stay up in some other seasons, but not this season for Hartlepool. Crawley on 46 survive. Wimbledon finish fourth from bottom. Really, really poor season for them. They have 48. Then Colchester on 49. And the rest nicely comfortable in mid-table. They'll all play in League Two again next season.
