MOORE’S BATTLERS DEFIANT TO THE END

Luton ended outside of the play-off spots, despite beating a team who will go into the end-of-season tournament.

The Hatters knew their chances of leapfrogging Plymouth into seventh were slim and the Pilgrims’ victory over Shrewsbury sealed their play-off spot.

But Luton at least ended with three points by beating Stevenage 2-0, Mark Cullen and Michael Harriman scoring the goals.

Jimmy Dack bowed out as Newport’s caretaker manager by losing 1-0 against Oxford.

The Exiles will spend next season with Terry Butcher at the helm and he adopted a watching brief as Kemar Roofe’s first-half effort settled the contest, with Newport’s Michael Flynn being dismissed.

Paul Tisdale’s Exeter achieved a top-10 finish by beating Dagenham 2-1.

After a goalless first period, sub Jimmy Keohane and Tom Nichols found the target before Jamie Cureton pulled one back.

Managerless Portsmouth took an 82nd-minute lead against York, but still only drew. Matt Tubbs’ 21st League goal of the season was cancelled out by Brad Halliday.

Already-relegated Cheltenham’s poor campaign ended in a 1-1 draw at AFC Wimbledon.

Gary Johnson’s Robins led through Durrell Berry, yet their final game of a 16-year Football League existence ended in stalemate when Jack Smith equalised.

Accrington finished on 56 points as they overcome Mansfield 2-1.

Jamie McGuire gave the Stags a half-time lead only for Seamus Conneely and Terry Gornell to turn the game on its head.
