The York Report - York Citys Great Escape Begins

York City claimed their first home win since September with a 2-1 win over Barrow.


The National League's bottom club have shown a resurgence in form recently but have been unable to secure the three points that they desperately need.

Amari Morgan-Smith grabbed his second goal in two games for the Minstermen after twenty two minutes, collecting the ball from a big Jon Parkin flick on.

York had more chances, including an effort from Jon 'The Beast' Parkin and despite Barrow coming  into the game York's goalkeeper Kyle Letheren had very little to do. That was until the seventy second minute when Barrow striker Jordan Williams nipped in before Letheren and slotted home and equalizer.

It seemed like it was going to be same old York. Its happened a fair few times this season, York take the lead and play superbly but let it slip near the end. But today was different, York had the fight in them and with the game in its dying embers Sean Newton popped up to drive home a winner. Newtons dramatic goal sent the fans wild.

Frustratingly both North Ferriby and Guiseley also picked up three points today, but York's win leaves them just four points from safety with plenty of games to keep themselves in the league.

Next up for the Minstermen is a trip to Aldershot who currently sit 7th in the league, but after beating 6th placed Barrow confidence will hopefully be high in the York camp.
