It was another comfortable home win for Eastbourne Borough – but it was not enough to see them make a last-day steal of the National South title.

With Truro winning to take the crown and Torquay claiming second place with three points of their own, the best Borough could do was to make sure they beat Weston-super-Mare at a packed Priory Lane to secure a passage straight through to the play-off semi-finals, in which they will be at home.

They did that as goals by Kai Innocent, Jack Clarke and Cameron Gbadebo saw off the Somerset visitors sent the vast majority of the 2,754 crowd home happy.

Borough will host the winners of Wednesday’s Worthing-Maidstone game in the play-off semis at Priory Lane on Sunday, May 4. Torquay will host Sorking or Boreham Wood in Saturday’s first semi-final. The final is two weeks later, scheduled then to avoid a clash with the FA Trophy final on Sunday, May 11.
