Plymouth Argyle can now look forward to a two-legged League Two Play-off semi-final with Wycombe Wanderers, after securing their fourth and final spot with a win away at Shrewsbury Town.
Whilst the Pilgrims needed a point to wrap up 7th place in the table, the Shrews - who included former Torquay United defender and childhood Argyle fan Mark Ellis in their side - needed to win to be with a chance of clinching the League Two title at the expense of Burton Albion.
First half goals from Bobby Reid and Kelvin Mellor proved to be enough to see the Pilgrims tame the Shrews and seal the fourth and final Play-off place.
It is the only the third time in Argyle's history that they have been involved in the end of season showdown. The other two occasions were in the 1993-94 season when they lost in the semi-final to Burnley in the 'old Division Two', and two years later when they defeated Darlington under Neil Warnock at Wembley after beating Colchester United in the semis.
