Result: Welling 0-1 Southport

Steven Hewitt’s Long range goal ensured Southport beat Welling, but both clubs escaped relegation from the Conference.

With Alfreton thrashed 7-0 by Bristol Rovers, the two sides would have survived whatever the result.

Southport finished the season with a win through Hewitt’s 30-yard effort, which went in off the crossbar with 12 minutes remaining.

Southport finish six points clear of the drop while Welling stay up on goal difference.
