In-form York Under-11 schoolboys swept into a second football cup final this season after beating neighbours Leeds 2-1 in a last-gasp West Yorkshire Cup semi-final.

Leeds got the upper hand early on when Joe Bardon headed in the opener from a free-kick.

Resilient York fought their way back and found themselves on top in the second half - despite not being able to find the net with Jacob Gore and Charlie Clamp both going close.

The breakthrough came with ten minutes left on the clock when Connor Qualter scored direct from a free-kick.

York turned up the heat and hit a post before a sweet through ball played man-of-the-match Clamp in to slide it past the advancing 'keeper to the delight of the team and supporters.

The win takes their cup final tally to two out of two so far with a quarter-final against Bradford in another competition looming for a third chance at silverware.
