NORTH Ferriby United's promotion hopes were ended with an agonising 1-0 defeat to Guiseley at the Eon Visual Media Stadium, losing 3-0 on aggregate.
Former Villagers star Wayne Brooksby came back to haunt his former side with a goal on the hour mark, after Nathan Peat was beaten by a through ball in the Skrill North play-off semi-final second leg.
The dazzling footwork of Brooksby was too hot to handle and his powerful shot to the bottom right of the post was too much for Ferriby keeper Adam Nicklin.
Anthony Wilson was handed the home side's best chance on a plate in the second half. Open on goal, his shot was blocked by Guiseley captain Andy Holdsworth as the Villagers looked for a way back.
To their credit, Ferriby never gave up, even if the task seemed near impossible. Billy Heath's side can hold their head up high in what was an incredible debut season in the Skrill North, but their season ended on a downer as they look ahead to their future.
