The Minstermen had taken the lead via Heslop after just five minutes.

In a match where McNamara had said he would resign if York failed to get a positive result, it looked promising for the visitors.

But with the clock ticking down, the hosts grabbed a penalty and Barnard netted.

Guiseley enjoyed a 2-1 win against Southport.

Goals from Cassidy and Rankine did the damage, with Allen equalising for the visitors.

North Ferriby United lost 3-0 to Forest Green.

Pinnock put the visitors 1-0 up at the interval, before further strikes from Clough and Doidge.
