York remain in the relegation zone after a stalemate against fellow strugglers Barrow at Holker Street.

Richard Brodie almost put them ahead after 16 minutes but his goalbound effort was blocked by Simon Spender.

Tim Deasy tipped over a Christian Smith header, and as York continued to press Adam Boyes poked a good chance wide.

After the break Barrow should have scored but Lee McEvilly headed straight at the keeper, while Brodie was denied by Deasy in the final minute.
