Well that brings an end to the 2021-22 domestic football season.

Grimsby will join Stockport County in League Two next campaign.

The 2022-23 EFL is set to start on the weekend of July 30th as football accommodates a winter World Cup.

So we'll hopefully see you again in a little under two months' time.

From all of the football team here at BBC Sport, take care and have a great summer.

Solihull Moors boss Neal Ardley speaking to BT Sport:

"Listen both teams had loads of chances. Finals are always down to small margins. You look at their winning goal, it came off our man's head to the back post.

"It's just those moments where you keep asking questions. On the day they nicked the winner. I don't think either team deserved to win or to lose. But it is what it is. It's a final and that's what the play-offs are all about.

"Grimsby did a good job on us. They are a good team, they set up to stop us. We still had enough chances to score and win the game. They had chances. It was a very tight game, I knew it would be.

"I knew the final would come down to small margins. Unfortunately for the amazing group I've got, the margins have gone against us.

"It's the play-offs, that's what it's about. It's exciting, but we finished third on 87 points, we were magnificent all season. But it will always boil down to this one game.

"Unfortunately they got the momentum and won it. Credit to them and Paul Hurst, he's a great guy. To be fair they've got through three extra-times to be here.

"You've got to take your hat off to them, but my boys gave everything. They couldn't give any more."

Grimsby boss Paul Hurst speaking to BT Sport:

"I am happy. Very, very happy.

"Before we go on I want to say commiserations to Solihull and to Neal Ardley. I'm sure it will be their time in the not too distant future.

"I said going into the game I didn't think that extra time would affect us. What fantastic character.

"We looked too nervous at the start of the game, we were playing the occasion not the game. I just had to remind them of what they've done.

"Again, we spoke about the importance of the substitutes, the role they've played getting us to this point. And it's a sub who gets the winning goal.

"It's somehow meant to be. I said it to the players, some things are just written. It's all just crazy.

"It's funny. Jordan Cropper [who took the long throw that led to the winner] may not have played today.

"There's very little rest and turnaround, we've somehow got to get a squad for the EFL. We'll give that a good go as well."

Grimsby boss Paul Hurst tells BT Sport he's "very, very happy".

He looks it. Quotes to come.

Grimsby defender Andy Smith BBC Radio Humberside:

"It's indescribable.

"The fans have come out in their numbers and it pushed us on at the end - we needed that 12th man and that's the best day of football in my career so far.

"We never gave up, that's what we do, I'm just so delighted."

You're simply the best

Better than all the rest

Grimsby's players are collecting their medals.

(Simply) The Best by Tina Turner blares out.

We can't not mention Solihull Moors, they made this final special.

They will be a force next season.

Grimsby goalscorer John McAtee speaking to BT Sport:

"You can see it for yourself what it means. For a fifth-tier football match that is mental."

[On his equaliser]: "I'm buzzing. I shouted for the dummy but I didn't think (Maguire-Drew) could hear me. I thought it was going wide."

It really was meant to be. Grimsby are the first side to finish as low as sixth to be promoted from the National League since the play-off format was redesigned.

Remember they were seconds away from being knocked out in the first play-off eliminator against Notts County.

All three of their play-off wins came in the second half of extra time.

Grimsby match-winner Jordan Maguire-Drew speaking to BT Sport:

"It still hasn't sunk in. It was just meant to be from the start. It was frustrating to be on the bench, you just have to make it count.

"I saw the ball flicked up and you've just got to gamble. Luckily I did.

"We never gave up, we are very together. The fans, the town, the group, everyone is together. I'm just buzzing."

Everyone's got behind this project and it's paid off.

Who would've thought this team would have such team spirit.

The effort and everything that's gone on over the past few weeks has been colossal.

These players deserve to be legends.

Incredible scenes.

Grimsby bounce back to the EFL at the first attempt thanks to Jordan Maguire-Drew's extra-time winner.

And now a Grimsby free-kick. Is that the game?

Solihull free-kick. Tristan Abrahams carded for time-wasting.

Grimsby have the ball by the Solihull corner flag.

We play again. No idea when this match will finish now.
