Gawaine Hogg produced a golden moment to savour as City of York progressed to the fourth round of the English Hockey Association Cup.

With City and rivals Hull tied at 1-1 at full-time the cup-tie went into sudden death extra time and Hogg it was who bagged the "golden goal" to secure a 2-1 win and send City ever closer to a meeting with the game's upper crust.

Given that they were away from home City, who are struggling in the Northern Counties premier division, produced a much improved performance to dominate the contest for long periods.

They had gained the lead after just five minutes when a short corner saw Mark Little's shot deflected home by Hogg, but that fine start and the ease with which they controlled the first half saw complacency creep in.

As a result, Hull began to create scoring chances and it was a slip by Hogg, defending a short corner, that allowed the home side to level just before half-time.

City continued to press after the interval and Ian Butler came close to wrapping up the tie.

However, Hull held firm and managed to force City into the lottery of the "golden goal" decider.

The extra period did not last too long and it was Kyle Hogg's excellent run down the right flank that forced the short corner from which his brother, Gawaine, fired home the winner.

However, City's woes in the league have continued and they suffered another set back as they were beaten 3-2 at Doncaster II.

In a game played at a frantic pace Doncaster held the upper hand in terms of possession, but their attacks repeatedly broke down and it was City who gained the lead when Kyle Hogg broke through. Though his initial shot was well blocked by the goalkeeper he was able to slap in the rebound.

Doncaster replied with better attacks and it took some good saves by City keeper James Riley to maintain their lead.

The pressure told and when Luke Griggs struggled to clear after a Riley save, Doncaster forced home the equaliser.

City started the second period brightly with Mark Little and Chris Wilson prominent and it was from a Wilson cross that Kyle Hogg pounced to net his second.

Minutes later Mike Thornicroft went within a whisker of extending that lead but his flick over the Doncaster keeper landed on the roof of the net.

Then came the turning point as Doncaster had a goal given and City's protests that no-one had touched the ball as it travelled through the 'D' resulted in a sending off that reduced them to ten men.

Strangely City's inquest led to the umpire reversing his decision on the goal, but not on the dismissal, and under-manned City found themselves under pressure.

Soon after Hogg was sin-binned for an overly robust challenge and Doncaster took the chance to rattle in two goals in quick succession against the nine men of York.

In the dying minutes City went all out for an equaliser and Wilson came close to scoring but it was too little too late.
