Kevin Wilkin's Saints drew 1-1 with Gateshead as Shane Byrne's wonder goal from inside his own half cancelled out Jake Cooper's opener. The match went straight to a penalty shoot-out and, for the second year in a row, Brackley were beaten in a shoot-out in the play-offs. Kirsty Edmonds was on hand to capture the action.
