York City v Leeds United Women highlights: Abbie Brown strike earns point for Whites
Leeds United could extend their lead at the top of the Division One North table to four points with a win against York City.
It was the Minsterbelles who came out on top when the two teams met in the FA Women’s National League Cup last month – but with the Whites seeking an escape from the fourth tier, Wednesday evening’s game will have far greater significance.
Only one Division One North side will earn promotion to the Northern Premier come the end of the season, but it’s so far, so good for United. Since Rick Passmoor returned to manage Leeds this summer, his side have won five of their seven league games and are currently one point clear of second-placed Durham Cestria.
York City, meanwhile, have made a fine start to the club’s first ever season in the fourth tier. The newly-promoted side are sixth and victory over the Whites would put them within just three points of the league leaders.
With attendance expected to approach two thousand fans, this Yorkshire derby is set to be a tasty affair – and you can follow the action right here on our live blog….
