Shrimpers miss out on play-offs despite Bury win

Southend United have missed out on the League One play-offs, despite defeating Bury 1-0 at Roots Hall.



Relegation-threatened Bury avoided the drop, with Port Vale falling short on the final day.

Irish forward Stephen McLaughlin scored the only goal of the match, after 22 minutes.

Millwall's 4-3 win at Bristol Rovers, however, meant the Lions will face Scunthorpe in the play-offs, while Bradford play Fleetwood in the other semi-final.

Sheffield United and Bolton Wanderers have both been promoted to the Championship, the Blades being crowned champions.
