Blades Settle For Promotion Playoff Berth

At Exeter, England:


Goals from Alan Gow (24') and Scott Bennett (90') carried already-relegated Exeter City to a 2-2 Saturday home draw with Sheffield United in the English League One regular-season finale for both clubs.  Lee Williamson (44') and Kevin McDonald (47') each scored a goal for the Blades, whose hopes of gaining automatic promotion to the League Championship ended with Sheffield Wednesday's 2-0 win over already-relegated Wycombe Wanderers (the Owls join Charlton Athletic in gaining automatic promotion to the second level of English soccer).  Sheffield United will take on Stevenage (gunning for a third straight promotion) in a two-match promotion-playoff semifinal series.
