IN-FORM York Schoolboys Under-11s maintained their promising start to the season with a hard fought 2-0 home victory over Barnsley.

York started the brighter of the two teams and soon created half-chances for Dan Myers and Oliver Walsh, but York found the Barnsley keeper in top form.

On 18 minutes, Joe Watt crashed a shot against a post from distance only to see the rebound cleared.

Barnsley settled into the game and were creating chances of their own but York keeper Todd Edgar, who was outstanding all game, made some fine saves to keep the score at 0-0.

In the final period, York seemed to step up a gear and find their passing game, and clear cut chances finally came along.

Joe Stamp, on his schoolboys debut, broke the deadlock with a fine left-footed strike.

York then pushed on and, after good approach play from Taylor Bell and Elliot Heath, Stamp got on the end of a Myers cross to slide the ball into the Barnsley net.
