OH, the agony. York City Knights had glory in their grasp only to let it slip in ten excruciating minutes.

The players and fans will be continuing the post mortem today.

But they should not dwell long on what might have been and instead look to what could be.

To have come so far so quickly, the Knights have demonstrated tremendous spirit.

Bouncing back after yesterday's bitter blow is the next test of character.

It is up to the club's new regime to ensure that the Knights emerge stronger more determined than ever.
