MATCH CENTRE Eastbourne 3 York City 1: Rankine consolation for Minstermen

York City will look to boost their Blue Square Premier promotion hopes when they travel down to the south coast to face Eastbourne Borough today.

York defender Djoumin Sangare failed a late fitness test on a knock which ruled him out of Wednesday's 5-0 drubbing of AFC Wimbledon.

Both midfielder Paul Harsley and defender Danny Parslow were included, the former in the starting XI.

But City were behind after just 14 minutes, Matt Crabb on target for the home side, before Andy Atkin (17 and 32) made it 3-0 with two headers from Crabb's corners.

Michael Rankine (45) replied from the penalty spot just before the break.

York are 10 points ahead of Wimbledon in the race to clinch the final play-off spot.
