Delight and despair: Weston-super-Mare crowned champions while Yeovil Town's fate is sealed

Weston-super-Mare tasted glory on Tuesday night after clinching the Southern League Premier South title with a 4-1 victory over Hendon, but the inevitable was confirmed for Yeovil Town as they were relegated from the National League with a 3-0 defeat at Wrexham.

As a result, the teams will be playing together in the National League South next year along with fellow Somerset rivals Bath City and Taunton Town, something that would have seemed inconceivable 10 years ago when the Glovers were promoted to the Championship.

For the Seagulls, it has been a sensational season under the leadership of Scott Bartlett and player-coach Scott Laird, returning to the sixth tier four years on from the first relegation in the club's history. Spurred on by play-off semi-final heartbreak a year ago, Bartlett assembled an excellent squad that was once again spearheaded by the dynamic Dayle Grubb who has 20 goals for the campaign.
