Updated: YORK City received a boost following the postponement of Saturday’s home game with AFC Wimbledon when play-off rivals Rushden and Kettering both dropped points.

The Minstermen stayed in fifth place despite being forced out of action at the weekend when a waterlogged pitch caused their game to be called off at 1pm.

Fourth-placed Rushden, though, could only draw 2-2 at Altrincham while Kettering suffered a surprise 2-0 home defeat to relegation-threatened Forest Green.

Kettering remain two points behind City in sixth place and have now played two games more.

Wimbledon would have been without injured first-choice strikers Danny Kedwell and Nathan Elder for Saturday’s match and a new date for the fixture is yet to be announced.

The best solution would appear to be rescheduling the game for Saturday, April 17, when Wimbledon are without a fixture.

City are due to entertain Grays on that afternoon but it is a match that could be moved back to Tuesday, April 20 when neither side has a fixture arranged.
