King’s Lynn Town 0 Peterborough Sports 1
Ten-man King's Lynn Town guaranteed their National League North status for next season despite former favourite Michael Gash netting a late winner at the Walks.
Visiting substitute Gash curled home a winner deep into stoppage time after the Linnets had Jonathan Margetts harshly sent off early in the second half.
Lynn named the same starting line-up for the second successive game as they fielded the same team who defeated Chorley 1-0 in midweek.
Peterborough Sports named ex-Linnets Rory McAuley and Ryan Fryatt in their starting XI while the popular Gash was on the bench.
There was an early scare for Lynn as Paul Jones saved with his legs to deny Brandon Njoku before Dan Jarvis rattled the woodwork with his follow-up.
It wasn't a classic in the first 45, but it was never going to be with both clubs assured of virtually assured of safety before kick-off.
Lynn made a change for the start of the second half as Bartosz Cybulski replaced Owen Devonport.
But their cause wasn't helped in the 50th minute as referee Lewis Dawson brandished Margetts a straight red card for bringing down Dan Lawlor when it looked no more than a yellow card offence.
Despite having a man less, Lynn were the better side for the remainder of the game as Dylan Crowe fired an effort wide of the post.
Josh Coulson put in a brilliant block to deny Jarvis with 15 minutes left on the clock in a rare Sports attack after the break.
Crook pulled off a superb stop in stoppage time to deny substitute Gabriel Rogers a goal before Gash went up the other end to settle an uninspiring A47 derby.
Adam Lakeland’s side go into their final game at Spennymoor next weekend four points above the drop zone.
