Stevenage ruined the party as they won 1-0 against fierce rivals Cambridge, who only needed a point to ensure promotion.
A Luke Norris header from a set piece proved the all decisive goal as Boro did the league double over the U's.
Alex Revell will be certainly impressed by his team, as they dominated for large spells and the score line should've been more convincing if they'd converted some of their first half chances.
Read on to see how Hitchin Nub News rated each players performance.
