  • "Wow! What an incredible extra time when City suddenly seemed to find their legs. Mansfield will be gutted as they are a top side and scored 6 points more than City in the league. There really should be a three-up three-down scenario from Conference to the league as too many quality sides are stuck in non-league for years.

    It's a must win final though with a new stadium riding on the result!"

Matty Blair sends York City into Blue Square Bet Premier play-off final

GOAL hero Matty Blair struck in extra time to send York City to Wembley in the Blue Square Bet Premier play-off final.

The Minstermen's semi-final against Mansfield Town appeared to be heading for penalties at 1-1 on aggregate when Blair bagged the winning goal with nine minutes remaining.

A minute later the Stags had defender Ritchie Sutton sent off for a second bookable offence and City managed to hang on.

York now face a Wembley double header, taking on Newport County in the final of the FA Trophy this Saturday before facing Luton Town or Wrexham in the play-off final on Sunday, May 20.
