A 1-1 draw at Bootham Crescent may not have been the result they were after but performance wise, they were left happy, writes Tom Feaheny.
“We are very proud of the boys; I thought they were excellent from minute one all the way through," Gardiner told the club's website.
“We were very good defensively but were very brave on the ball.
“York are a good team on a bit of a roll but we’ve restricted them to very few chances and I don’t think Brandon has had a save to make.
"We’re very proud of what the lads have done and it gives us a good building block to take into the next game.”
