ILKLEY Town's play-off dreams came to a crashing end on Saturday, as they fell to a 5-0 defeat at Holker Old Boys to suffer final day heartbreak.

A victory would have earned the Baht'atters their place in the end of season play-offs but it wasn't to be for Sam Dexter's side.

Instead, South Liverpool pipped Ilkley to the the final spot, as they sealed a dramatic 4-3 victory at AFC Blackpool.

That being said, Town can be proud of their valiant efforts this season, and although the pain will linger, the Baht'atters can look ahead to a bright future under Dexter.

On the scoresheet for Holker was William McGladdery, Jamie Hodgson (X2), Jason Walker and Joe Amison.

Unfortunately for the visitors, they struggled to lay a glove on the hosts and it was a case of results going in their favour elsewhere across the division.

Town will be back and hoping to go one better next season.
