Charlie Austin scored twice as Swindon and Morecambe played out an exciting 3-3 draw in the final game of the season.
The Robins went ahead after just five minutes when Sean McGurk whipped in a free-kick from the right on to the head of Austin to nod home.
But the lead did not last long as Cameron Smith put in a low ball that made it through to Joe Adams, whose shot took a big deflection to wrong-foot goalkeeper Jack Bycroft and crawl in.
Morecambe made it 2-1 six minutes later when Adam Fairclough got in down the right and picked out Charlie Brown. His shot was blocked and flicked off his heel back to the 16-year-old to score his first senior goal.
Austin was at the double in a crazy first half as Frazer Blake-Tracy darted into the middle and slipped through the 34-year-old to tuck beyond the goalkeeper.
After the break, substitute Dawson Devoy swung a cross in for Williams Kokolo to power home but Smith levelled with a fierce strike four minutes from time.

It's not been helped by the apparent lack of communication and commitment from our current owner. Why own a football club that you don't appear to care two hoots about....
It reflects well on the Manager that we had enough fight in us to secure a point. Sounds like a good game.
Two recent managers Scott Lindsey and Richie Wellens are currently enjoying great success and they may well have had that Swindon if given support and a smidgen of finance.
He obviously doesn't look after himself like a true pro should. Especially considering he's playing 3rd tier not Champions League.
Good to see the young ones out, maybe is there is some hope after all? Will have to see what the plumber, the smuggler and the laundry man come up with.
