YES, PRIME MINSTER

-

YORK CITY aim to end a miserable season on a high against Macclesfie­ld in the FA Trophy final at Wembley.

The Minstermen were relegated to the National League North on the final day of the campaign, just a year after losing Football League status.

Gary Mills’ side, who knocked out National League champions Lincoln in the two-legged semi-final, will also be trying to emulate FC Halifax Town’s achievemen­ts of 12 months ago, when The Shaymen won at the national stadium just weeks after dropping into National League North, although they have now regained their place in non-league’s top flight. Mills (below) said: “They went to the final and won it and hopefully we can do the same now and get back up at the first time of asking.”

Opponents Macclesfie­ld beat league runners-up Tranmere to book their trip to Wembley and assistant boss Steve Watson, a former FA Cup finalist with Newcastle, stressed: “When you go into a big occasion like this you want to do yourself justice, to play to your potential.

“A lot of our lads are playing for contracts so it should be a very good and competitiv­e game.”
