Cardiff clinched a play-off berth thanks to second-half goals from Leo Fortune-West and Scott Young,
which ensured victory over Notts County.
Both goals were created by the impressive Graham Kavanagh,
with Fortune-West flicking home in the 52nd minute before Young headed the winner
12 minutes from time.
County had threatened to spoil the play-off party by taking an 11th-minute lead
through Richard Liburd.
But the Bluebirds were impressive on the break and deserved to win a thoroughly entertaining game.
Robert Earnshaw, who had just returned from an injury lay-off,
had an eventful game and should have finished with his name on the scoresheet.
In the first half he blasted a superb shot against the crossbar before it was
safely gathered by the County goalkeeper.
He also threatened in the second period, but could only fire high and wide when
well-placed in front of goal.
