Champions beaten by excellent United

Goals from Reece Thompson and Kabongo Tshimanga capped a dominant first half performance from the Pilgrims and despite Lois Maynard’s 71st minute reply, United held firm for all three points.

Gus Mafuta was red-carded for the hosts in the closing stages but Salford claimed the title courtesy of Harrogate Town’s reversal at Bradford Park Avenue.
