Mitch Hand and George Gaskin’s side have four games to save themselves after losing 2-0 – a result that made the Tanners champions of a division they have dominated.
This was a 28th win of the season in 38 games and their players, fans and staff celebrated in style at the end.
The loss leaves the Marigolds 20th and two points below the safety line. They have another tough test on Easter Monday when they go to one of the sides now playing for a play-off place, Moneyfields.
