Bromsgrove Sporting 0
Barwell 1 (Dunkley 78')
Barwell finished their season with a narrow victory over Bromsgrove Sporting, in front of a healthy crowd of 1,205.
Former Rousler Tristan Dunkley scored the only goal in a match which saw new manager Paul Smith watch on from the stands before taking to the dugout next season.
Sporting started the game smartly, with the second minute seeing a Jack Newell strike fumbled by keeper Liam Castle into the path of Keanu Cooper, who narrowly missed from an acute angle.
Four minutes later, Shaquille Leachman-Whittingham found an unmarked Nathan Blissett with a brilliant cross - the header from it went wide though.
The 21st minute saw Aaron Roberts clatter the crossbar from inside the area, whilst Leachman-Whittingham put a good opportunity over the bar soon after.
Barwell's Beck-Ray Enoru capped off a fine run with a shot that missed the target eight minutes into the second half and Jahvan Davidson-Milled saw a strike deflected into the arms of keeper Ollie Taylor midway through the half.
Cooper and substitute Peter Abimbola both had opportunities for the home side but they were both saved by Castle.
The winner came 12 minutes from time, as the lively Enoru found Dunkley, who tapped home from mere yards out.
Cooper had a headed chance to equalise in the 85th minute, but he put it well over.
