Forest Green secured promotion to League One for the first time in the club's history with a 0-0 draw at Bristol Rovers.

Needing a point to guarantee a top-three finish, the visitors turned in a committed display and just about edged a thrilling encounter.

Forest Green had the better of a high-tempo first half, creating two great chances.

Regan Hendry saw his 10th minute shot blocked on the line, while Ebou Adams was denied by a fine James Belshaw save on the half-hour mark.

Bristol Rovers' best first-half effort was an early run and shot from Antony Evans, which was comfortably saved by Luke McGee.

Belshaw distinguished himself again in the second half, saving from Jamille Matt, Jack Aitchison and Nick Cadden.

McGee was also busier, keeping out efforts from Elliot Anderson and substitute Luke Thomas twice, including once in stoppage time.

The promotion to League One comes just five years after the club entered the Football League.
