Altricham win play-off

Altricham defeated Eastbourne Borough 2-1 at Stoke this afternoon in the North/South play-off and so will line up in the Conference next season.

Southport and Grays Athletic also join the Conference from Conference North and South respectively.

Hereford United supporters will already know Southport well having visited Haig Avenue for a F A Cup game earlier this season. Southport dropped out of the Conference in 2003.

However visits to Altrincham and Grays will be new venues for most supporters. And there are trips to Cambridge and Kidderminster to look forward to.

Meanwhile against all the odds Hereford United's feeder team West Bromwich Albion are staying in the Premiership. They defeated Portsmouth this afternoon which, given the other results, keeps them in the top flight of football
