The season ended on a high note for Spartans - as they scored five goals for the second successive game, dismantling an impressive Grantham Town side by a 5-1 score line. Dan Maguire scored a hat-trick, Robert Dale grabbed a goal and an unfortunate own goal sealed the victory.
The Robins ended their league campaign on Saturday with a convincing 3-1 victory over Newton Aycliffe, where a double from Gareth Bainbridge and an effort from Lee Mason were enough to seal the points.
