Droylsden won promotion to the Conference for the first time with a 2-0 win at home to Harrogate Town. The Bloods scored goals in each half from Steve Halford and Terry Fearns to give themselves an unassailable lead at the top of the Conference North.
Droylsden have lost just once at home in the league all season, and a late penalty from Fearns ensured time was seen out in celebratory fashion.
The win seals a non-league double after they lifted the Manchester Premier Cup.
Droylsden saw off Flixton 3-0 in the final on Wednesday.
