Colin Walker, the York boss, was delighted with the draw and full of praise for his players' hard work and resilience. He said: "If somebody had offered me a draw before the match I'd have taken it."

FINAL SCORE - GULLS 1 YORK 1

So, undone by a late goal again.
At least the run of defeats is over, but this is a shadow of last season's team, at least at this stage of the season.
That'll teach me to do the Sodje joke, eh?
The sponsors man of the match is Chris Hargreaves. Sills has worked his socks off, too.
The fourth official signals three more minutes.

GOAL GULLS 1 YORK 1

York have got the hammer down now, with four minutes to go.
Two corners from Russell have been cleared and we're under some pressure.
And Sodje scores a belter in the 87th minute, running on to a flick from McBreen and lashing a right foot volley over Poke and into the top corner from 25 yards
First reporter: "Who was that?"
Second reporter: "Sodje"
First reporter: "Suit yourself, I only asked."
It will be a sad day in press boxes everywhere when the Sodje clan hang up their boots.
Into the last quarter of an hour, and Matt Green is getting ready to come on.
He replaces Dsane with 10 minutes to go.
York have made a double switch in the 70th minute, with Sodje and Russell replacing Farrell and Wilkinson.
That was a great finish from Danny Stevens. According to reports today Crawley manager Steve Evans tried to sign him and was told by Colin Lee that he's not for sale. Too right he's not.
York make another change in the 73rd minute, bringing on Henderson for Rusk.
