MOORS EYE A PLAY-OFF RUN

BOTH teams got what was required from a dour clash that was settled by the sprightly Jack Stevens three minutes from time.

Stevens drove into the box and fired high back across goal from a Callum Maycock cutback to ensure Moors gained a crucial edge.

Despite defeat, York knew not losing by three or more would be enough for survival and spent the final two minutes of added time passing across the back unchallenged by Solihull whose victory sealed home advantage for Tuesday’s Eliminator with Gateshead (7.45).

The late intervention was required, though, arriving at a very similar stage to Gateshead’s winner at home to Bromley that would have seen Solihull landed with a lengthy midweek road trip if they hadn’t won.
