York City Football Club Prepares for National League Play-Off Semi-Final Against Oldham Athletic
The LNER Community Stadium is set to host the National League Play-Off Semi-Final this evening, with York City Football Club welcoming Oldham Athletic to Yorkshire for a 19:45 kick-off. According to a report from York City Football Club’s official website, the Minstermen are heading into the game on a high, having secured an impressive 2-0 win away at Eastleigh in their previous match.

The Latics thrashed local rivals Halifax, with three goals in the opening 12 minutes securing the win. As York City Football Club’s website notes, “The Latics thrashed local rivals Halifax to set up tomorrow’s fixture with three goals in the opening 12 minutes all but securing the win. Garner, Kitching and Fondop all with the early goals. Pritchard added a fourth in the second half as Halifax were unable to fight back towards the end.”
