YORK City ended a run of defeats with a 1-1 draw at Altrincham, where top scorer Richard Brodie endured a fluctuating time.

City went behind in the 14th minute to a Shaun Densmore goal and then suffered more heart-ache when a Brodie penalty was saved by Altrincham goalkeeper Stuart Coburn.

But Brodie made amends less than a minute into the second half when he poached his 18th goal of the campaign to salvage a share of the spoils for City.
