York avoided National League relegation despite losing 1-0 at promotion hopefuls Solihull Moors.

Moors came close in the first half when Jamey Osborne had a chance from 25 yards but it was easily caught by visiting goalkeeper Rory Watson before Joe Newton’s effort flew just wide of the post.

They continued to threaten after the break when Newton’s dangerous cross was cleared before Watson was forced into another save.

Jack Stevens eventually found the breakthrough for Solihull in the 87th minute, smashing the ball into the top corner from Callum Maycock’s cross, meaning they finished fifth in the play-off spots.
