Boreham Wood have been relegated from the National League following a goalless draw with Ebbsfleet United.
Wood join Kidderminster Harriers, Dorking Wanderers and Oxford City in dropping down to the sixth tier of English football.
It ends a nine-year stay in the National League with manager Luke Garrard also stepping down.
Boreham Wood finished sixth in the division last season, but this campaign they have only won 12 of their 46 games.
Wood went close on four minutes when Jack Payne's shot was deflected wide after a goalmouth scramble but posed little threat for the remainder of the first half.
The hosts had the ball in the net just before the hour mark but referee Robert Massey-Ellis blew for a foul on Ebbsfleet keeper Mark Cousins.
Dominic Poleon pounced on a loose ball in the 63rd minute but Boreham Wood keeper Nathan Ashmore got down quickly to make the save.
Ben Chapman passed up a great chance to fire Ebbsfleet ahead five minutes from time, slicing wide with only Ashmore to beat after being set up by Poleon, and Ashmore pulled off a smart save to deny Dominic Samuel in the 89th minute.
