Wycombe 0 Hartlepool 1.
HARTLEPOOL United clinched promotion to League One with an 81st minute winner at Adams Park to give Wanderers own promotion hopes another dent.
They only needed a point but they got all three as Wycombe's winless run was extended to eight games.
Richard Barker sent the 800 visiting fans into delirium heading home an Andy Monkhouse left wing cross.
Earlier Blues striker Jermaine Easter missed two gilt edged chances when one on one with the keeper.
But it was a bad afternoon for Blues who lost Tommy Doherty injured after a first half clash with team-mate Lewis Christon who was then stretchered off himself after colliding with the goal frame while making a dramatic goal line clearance in the second half.
That meant Wycombe finished the match they really needed to win with striker Tommy Mooney having to fill in at centre half.
