Though the Town go two up in the first eighteen minutes through Gary Emmanuel and Colin Bailie, top-of-the-table York peg them back before half-time, with two Keith Walwyn goals. Swindon snatch it in the second half though, when a Leigh Barnard cross is misjudged by York backup goalkeeper Mike Astbury.
