Tranmere Rovers secured the final League Two play-off spot after a goalless draw against Colchester United.
Keith Hill's men, who were real contenders for automatic promotion a few weeks ago, went into the game knowing that results elsewhere would not matter if they could pick up a point on the final day.
Aside from an Otis Khan effort and two half chances for Paul Lewis and Corey Blackett-Taylor, the first period was devoid of any real attacking quality.
Tranmere had control of the opening half, however after offering little in the opening 45 minutes it was the U's who should have taken a second-half lead.
Veteran keeper Joe Murphy first denied Michael Folivi from close range before getting down well to keep out a low strike from Noah Chilvers.
Rovers then settled into the half but despite having spells of possession they failed to trouble keeper Shamal George.
The U's went close again late on with a long-range Chilvers effort, but Rovers were able to soak up the pressure and see the game out.
