Gravesend & Northfleet 2 - 2 York City

YOUNG striker Onome Sodje scored an 89th minute equaliser to earn Gravesend a share of the points against York City at Stonebridge Road on Saturday.

The 17-year-old, who is on loan from Charlton, latched onto Jay Saunders' through pass before calmly rounding the advancing keeper and slotting in from close range.

It had looked like York would head home with all three points when Andy Bishop put them 2-1 up with just four minutes remaining after a mistake by Scott Gooding.

Earlier, the visitors had taken the lead after 10 minutes when Clayton Donaldson finished well from a tight angle, but Kim Grant levelled for Gravesend with a deflected free kick after a foul on Sodje.

A win for York would have taken them to the top of the Nationwide Conference so it was a good point for Fleet.

Gravesend: Holloway, Protheroe (Gooding 83), Smith, McCarthy, Skinner, Slatter, Bowry (Surey 41), Saunders, Jackson, Grant (Guy 65), Sodje.
Subs Not Used: Kerr, Omoyinmi.
Attendance: 1,133.
