Lee Gregory grabbed the crucial goal after 74 minutes in front of a record 2,604 fans on a wet, cold and tense afternoon.

The result means that Brackley – who have enjoyed a rapid rise through the non-league football pyramid - will remain in the Conference North when the new season gets under way in August.
