Tranmere finally confirmed their return to the football league after a three-year absence in May when they defeated Boreham Wood in a thrilling play-off final.

Micky Mellon's men made a stuttering start to their game against Stevenage, going 2-0 down inside 27 minutes.

Tranmere came back fighting though, with striker James Norwood netting a brace to seal a point for the travelling team.

Tranmere were unlucky not to take all three points on Saturday, with Stevenage defender John Hunt seeing red with 15 minutes left to play.
