Barnet's relegation from League Two was confirmed despite a convincing 3-0 win over bottom side Chesterfield. The Bees' victory, which ended a three-season stay in the Football League, was not enough to save them from the drop.
What happened?
Barnet won their final game of the season, with John Akinde, Richard Brindley, and Alex Nicholls scoring the goals. However, Morecambe's draw at Coventry was enough to condemn Barnet to relegation.
Why it matters for Barnet
The relegation is a significant blow to the club, who had been fighting to stay in the Football League. Manager Martin Allen had taken over from Graham Westley in March and had won five of his eight games in charge.
What comes next?
Barnet will now play in the National League, a level below the Football League. The club will need to regroup and rebuild for the new season, with the aim of returning to the Football League as soon as possible.
