Mansfield 2 Gillingham 1 Newport 0 Salford 1 Stockport 4 Accrington 2

-

NIGEL CLOUGH has challenged promoted Mansfield to end the season on a high and finish second after beating Gillingham.

Goals from Davis Keillor-Dunn and Stephen McLaughlin cancelled out Timothee Dieng’s opener for the Gills. “The campaign has been outstandin­g and we now want to try to finish second,” said boss Clough.

Gillingham manager Stephen Clemence was largely happy, but admitted: “We ran out of steam.”

KARL ROBINSON admits Salford will have to aim higher next season to reward the investment of the ‘Class of 92’.

Matt Smith ended a four-game losing run but Robinson said: “We’re nowhere near the finished article. When you’ve got owners like us, we have a duty to pay that back.”

Graham Coughlan warned Newport: “A number of players have gone as far as they can.”

DAVE CHALLINOR was a proud man after Stockport were presented with the League Two trophy.

Kyle Wootton (two), Connor Lemonheigh-Evans and Antoni Sarcevic struck, with Shaun Whalley and

Jack Nolan responding for Accrington. Challinor said: “This is the best feeling ever in terms of being able to celebrate with friends, family and supporters.

Satisfied Accrington manager John Doolan said: “The lads didn’t give up.”

Tranmere 3 Wimbledon 2

JOHNNIE JACKSON was keen to focus on the positives despite seeing AFC Wimbledon miss out on the play-offs.

Harvey Saunders and Rob Apter put Tranmere ahead before Josh Kelly replied. John-Joe O’Toole’s dismissal then ended the Dons’ hopes and Connor Jennings added a third before Kelly’s late consolatio­n.

Jackson said: “We’ve progressed massively.”
