And Bury's victory condemned them to the drop.

Chairman Lee Power says it's not time to retreat, but to rebuild.

It's my job now to pick up the pieces and carry on with the club.

If I was to give up, there wouldn't be a football club.

It's like I say, it's not nice hearing that,

but I understand, you know, people are angry.

Fans will be looking for more than assurances as next season's

We'll check on how the rest of our sides are faring in a minute.

The big news in rugby this weekend - Gloucester have reached their second

European Challenge Cup final in three seasons as they held

Fly half Billy Burns was the hero, scoring all 16 of their points

before they resisted a battling comeback from the French team.

And they'll face Stade Francais in the final after a heartbreaking

defeat for Bath Rugby this afternoon.

A last-minute Jules Plisson drop goal sealed the win.

Bath fly half George Ford missed the chance to level the match

Huge disappointment for Bath, who put so much work into getting

back into the match after Stade's initial 18-6 lead.

In other news, a Gloucestershire Regiment veteran who fought

at the Battle of Imjin River during the Korean War has passed

on an important piece of military history today.

Private Sam Mercer survived the Glosters' epic stand of 1951.

Bristol Ladies Rugby missed out on being crowned

Despite this second half try from Chantelle Miell,

they lost the play-off final to Aylesford by 17 points to 8.

Disappointment for the team and their supporters,

who'd finished the regular season top of the table.

I think there probably is a little bit of frustration.

We did finish top of the league, that at the end of the day,

we knew that was the league structure starting in September.

So we knew there was always going to be play-offs.

We knew to get in the best chance, we just wanted to play well

throughout the season, and to play consistently,

and we did that to finish top, so we've won more games

than anyone else, but unfortunately it just didn't happen today.

We've had another lovely sunny day today.

Good evening. We had a beautiful day today, with quite a bit of sunshine.

Quite a bit of cloud compared with last night. Temperatures could fall

quite low, but for most of is not as cold. Tomorrow will be a cloudy

tail end of the day. Highs of 13 Celsius. Tuesday we start to see

much colder air, so we could see a widespread frost, heavy downpours

and some sunshine. We had a beautiful day across most

of UK today, but there's a taste of winter on the way. Even a little bit

of snow. Its forecast for one or two places. This is the forecast

tonight. We're watching this cold front, this will line, this weather

front. Everything to the north of that line is cold as
