York City Football Club has moved to the top of the National League table following a 1-0 victory against Boston United on Friday, 3 April 2026. The win at The Jakemans Community Stadium, secured by a 48th-minute goal from Ben Brookes, places the team in a strong position as the 2025-26 season approaches its conclusion.

The result, coupled with a 4-2 defeat for Rochdale against Morecambe, means the two clubs are now tied on 98 points. York City currently leads the league on goal difference, holding a significant advantage of +68 compared to Rochdale’s +45. Throughout the match, goalkeeper Harrison Male made several important saves to maintain the clean sheet and ensure the win.

Under the guidance of manager Stuart Maynard, who was appointed in August 2025, the team has achieved 30 wins from 42 games this season. The squad, led by captain Callum Howe, has scored 107 goals, with striker Ollie Pearce contributing 31 goals to the total tally so far.

There are four matches remaining for York City in the current campaign. The team will host Altrincham on 6 April, travel to face Tamworth on 11 April, and return home to play Yeovil Town on 18 April. The season will conclude with a final match against Rochdale on 25 April.
