York City Football Club end September 2009 on the up, still unbeaten at KitKat Crescent, and with Michael Gash and Richard Brodie on target on a regular basis!
Here is the end of the month round-up.
Still in the chase for play-offs and promotion, a squad shuffle in September saw City’s midfielder Simon Russell (on 17th September) and defender Alan O’Hare (on 1st October) go out on month-long loans to Tamworth and Gainsborough Trinity respectively.
Russell joined York last summer, but has not played so far this season; O’Hare has been on the bench eight times this season, but has yet to play for the City’s first team.
Coming in on the 29th September, also for a one-month loan, is Oxford United defender Chris Carruthers who has just completed another loan spell at Crawley.
Carruthers cannot play against Oxford in October, but is allowed to play in the FA Cup for York.

York City FC 2 – 2 Cambridge United
(Gash 33, 89) (Reason 79,
Beesley 83)
Michael Gash nets two for York City to clinch a home point and keep up an unbeaten run at home.
Gash first scored just after half an hour from close-range, but two goals in five minutes late into the second half from Jai Reason and Mark Beesley looked to give an in-form Cambridge an away victory.
However, Gash scored in the 89th minute with his head to save the home team’s blushes.
The result means York are now unbeaten at home so far this season, whilst visitors Cambridge have now gone 8 games unbeaten although have drawn 5 in that run.
Minstermen manager Martin Foyle praised his team’s character to BBC Radio York.

It’s seven home wins from seven, as York City Football Club take all three points against a battling ten-man Kidderminster.

Matt Barnes-Homer scored a consolation goal from long-range immediately afterwards, but York had done enough.
