Cambridge make Football League return after victory over Gateshead

Cambridge United have returned to the Football League after victory over Gateshead at Wembley in the playoff final.

Cambridge completed a Wembley double this season as they defeated Gateshead 2-1 in the Skrill Premier play-off final to seal a return to the Football League after a nine-year absence.

Goals from Liam Hughes and Ryan Donaldson, against his old club, put the U's in control but veteran striker Jack Lester pulled one back to set up a tense final 10 minutes for Richard Money's men.

However, the Heed could not find an equaliser and their 54-year wait to regain Football League status goes on.
