Notts County's Easter Monday opponents Crawley Town looked for a while like they would accompany Yeovil on their slide down the table and into the bottom two.
However, back-to-back wins for the Red Devils have seen them climb back out of danger and secure League Two football next season at Broadway Stadium.
When the two sides met in October, Harry Kewell, prised from Crawley a month earlier, got the better of his former side with a 3-1 win.

That victory looked like the end of the Magpies' horror start to the season, but instead Notts would only win twice over the next three months.
Still bottom of the Football League, Neal Ardley's side have three games left to save their season and, according to the manager, must win two of their final three - starting with Crawley.
"There are no easy games," said Ardley.
"When you are bottom of the league everybody is above you so there are never easy games.
"These boys are tired and they are giving it everything.
"All I can ask for is that these boys keep going and keep believing.
Notts County have what it takes to climb out of relegation zone, says Craig Mackail-Smith
"We need to ask these boys, can we go unbeaten in these last three games? Can we win two of them, or even three of them?
"Hopefully we can end this season by pulling off a remarkable escape."
