In a tense and emotionally charged afternoon, the Sulphurites were unable to produce the result they desperately needed to keep their survival hopes alive, as their fate was sealed following results elsewhere in the division.
A victory would have been enough to save the Sulphurites after fellow strugglers Crawley and Tranmere Rovers both failed to win, but an inability to covert some big chances at the start of the second half meant that they finished the day inside the League Two drop zone.
As the final whistle blew, confirmation of relegation brought a mixture of disappointment and reflection for players and supporters alike.
Having battled hard throughout the season, the Sulphurites ultimately fell short in a campaign defined by narrow margins and missed opportunities.
For supporters, it was a difficult afternoon marked by frustration and heartbreak, but also appreciation for the effort shown over recent years.
The focus now shifts to rebuilding, with the Sulphurites aiming to bounce back at the first attempt.
We sent our photographer, Gerard Binks, down to Wetherby Road to capture the emotions as they unfolded during a rollercoaster afternoon...
