English Conference Promotion Playoffs: Rushden & Diamonds Held To Home Draw By Oxford United; Yorkies Take Opener From Luton Town Thanks To Late Goal

Playoffs for promotion from the English (National) Conference to the Football League (League Two) got under way as the two two-match semifinal series commenced on Thursday.

At Irthlingborough, England:

Mark Byrne's equalizer at 51 minutes enabled Rushden & Diamonds to salvage a 1-1 home draw with Oxford United in game one of their two-match set.  James Constable scored what could still be a precious road goal for the Boys From Up The Hill at 29 minutes.

At York, England:

Richard Brodie scored the only goal of the match at 90 minutes as York City, at the death, took match one of their two-game series with Luton Town 1-0.
