The National League South has been described as the closest title race in Europe in some quarters, and it was decided by the narrowest of margins.
A 5-2 win for Truro City at home to relegation threatened St Albans City saw them secure top spot on goal difference ahead of Westcountry rivals Torquay United, who won 4-1 away to Hemel Hempstead in which the Gulls' former Tinners' striker Cody Cooke netted a hat-trick.
By winning the title, Truro City created two pieces of history. Not only did they become the first Cornish side to reach the National League, manager John Askey also becomes the first manager to promotions from the National League (Macclesfield Town 2017-18), National League North (York City 2021-22 and National League South (Truro City 2024-25).
Trips to far flung locations such as Gateshead, Hartlepool United and recently relegated Carlisle United now await the Tinners.
For Torquay United and Paul Wotton, the man who Askey succeeded as Tturo manager, the play-offs now await, with Boreham Wood or Dorking Wanderers their opponents in the semi final stage.
Promotion for the Gulls would be Wotton's second promotion in three seasons, after he guided Truro to play-off glory in the 2022-23 season from Southern League Premier South. It will also be United's second promotion from National League South, after winning the title themselves in the 2018-19 campaign.
