Thrashings, points on the road and late drama: The Yorkshire Non-League Roundup

York City’s poor start to the season only got worse on home soil today. Steve Watson criticised his side’s second half performance that saw Brackley Town score two in the final ten minutes to tie up a 2-1 victory, leaving York bottom of the division.
Guiseley also earned their first win of the season, turning over title favourites Gloucester City at Nethermoor Park. Lebrun Mbeka led the comeback netting an equaliser following an early Jordan Young goal, culminating in a Gloucester own goal to wrap up all three points for the lions.
Farsley Celtic continued their positive start to the national league north season. They left it late though, Luke Parkin netted an equaliser in the 87th minute to assure a point at home to Kettering Town.
Bradford Park Avenue’s fixture with Chorley had to be abandoned due to a serious injury. Our thoughts are with all those affected.
