Final 
Lowestoft Town v Concord Rangers 
- Bank Holiday Monday 6th May @ Crown Meadow

The Ryman Premier Division play-off final will be The Trawlerboys v The Beachboys played at Lowestoft's Crown Meadow home on Bank Holiday Monday.

Will it be third time lucky for The Trawlerboys who since promotion from Division One (North) in 2010 have lost out in the play-off final at Tonbridge Angels (2011) and AFC Hornchurch (2012)?

Whichever team goes up it'll be some climb up the football pyramid by the winners as taking a look back to 2006 The Beachboys were placed 7th in The Essex Senior League and in 2008 The Trawlerboys were placed 11th in The Eastern Counties League Premier Division. Next season one will be playing Conference South (or North) football!

For Wealdstone it was the heartbreak of defeat in the semi-final for the second year running as Concord Rangers went through 1-2 after extra time. The Stones lost out against Lowestoft Town in 2012.

East Thurrock United had done so well to get to the play-offs after winning 12 of their last 21 games but eventually fell short at Lowestoft Town in front of a good crowd of 1,110 people.

Enfield Town will be making a familiar trip to either Maldon and Tiptree or Thamesmead Town next season as those two teams contest the Division One (North) final on Sunday.

In the South we'll either be going to Maidstone's new Gallagher Stadium or Faversham Town's Sheperd Neame ground next year as they play on Saturday in front of a Sold Out capacity crowd.
