It was a case of mission accomplished for Torquay United manager Kevin Nicholson, as the Gulls defeated Bromley to secure the vital three points they needed to retain their National League status.
Skipper Angus MacDonald opened the scoring in the 11th minute when he headed home a Luke Young corner.
MacDonald later received his 15th booking of the season, which means he now misses the Gulls' remaining two fixtures against Barrow and Guiseley.
The Ravens were reduced to ten men in the second half when Ali Fusieni received a second yellow card on 50 minutes.
United made certain of the points five minutes from time through a free-kick from Courtney Richards, which ensured that the Gulls reached the 50 point with their ninth win in 15 matches.
As Boreham Wood and Guiseley have to play each other next week, the outcome of that match will prevent at least one of them from overhauling United's points tally - Boreham Wood have 44 points, whilst Guiseley have 46.
The Gulls had been 12 points adrift as recently as February 20th, so for Nicholson to have overseen the transformation that he has done is a truly remarkable feat.
