By Sam Elliott

York City are showing that they mean business in the Vanarama National League North this season.

The Minstermen are looking good under Steve Watson - and they made it four wins from five on Saturday afternoon.

York beat Leamington 2-0 as Alex Kempster and Jordan Burrow hit the spot.

Watson said: “I can't emphasise how important a great atmosphere at home is - it could be the extra points that we need and it was fantastic today."

Guiseley are second but despite going ahead had to make do with a 1-1 draw at Boston United.

What a start it has been for newcomers King’s Lynn Town.

They won 3-1 at AFC Telford - their third victory already after winning promotion.
