Altrincham 0-0 York

Altrincham held York to a goalless draw in a match that was short on real scoring chances.

The Minstermen went close early on, Michael Rankine heading over the bar, before Altrincham's Damian Reeves saw his shot held by keeper Michael Ingham.

The home side's Nicky Clee missed the target with a shot from 12 yards out.

Mark Beesley and Peter Till both went close with long-range efforts at either end as the two sides were mainly restricted to shots from distance.
