A Keith Hetherington hat-trick helped Norwich United pull off a Ridgeons League Premier Division great escape.
The Planters needed to beat Histon Reserves and hope Woodbridge Town would do them a favour and defeat Harwich & Parkeston to climb out of the bottom two.
Hetherington bagged all the goals in a 3-1 win at Histon Reserves, while Woodbridge did their bit by beating Harwich & Parkeston, who took just one point from their final 10 games, by the same scoreline.
Harwich will be relegated unless either Lowestoft Town are promoted and not replaced or Tiptree United move to the Essex Senior League.
Lowestoft rounded off their title-winning campaign with a 6-2 victory against Walsham-le-Willows at Crown Meadow.
More than 850 Blues fans saw the team lift the Ridgeons League trophy after the victory which saw them reach the 100 points barrier for the season.
