York Hearts 1-0 Team Sunshine

THE dream of cup glory remains alive for York Hearts, after a stirring victory over Premiership opposition last night.
A goal by Gav “Gandhi” Anderson gave the giant-killing Jambos a 1-0 win over Team Sunshine, to storm into finals night in the Football Mundial Cup.
The maroons were the better side throughout, and could easily have increased to their lead in the closing stages.
Team Sunshine, in their Argentina-style strips, were restricted to a handful of speculative efforts, and looked more like prima-donnas than Maradonas. Tommy O in the Hearts goal had only one real save to make.
After last week’s disappointing defeat to Crazyfruitbat.com, Hearts were determined to bounce back. They hassled and harried their opponents from the off, and carved open the defence with some excellent passing moves. Only a combination of bad luck in front of goal, and good defending by Sunshine kept the Jambos at bay.
The second half brought more of the same. Aitchison, Burnett, and Outing senior all had chances, but it was Gandhi who made the breakthrough. With seven minutes remaining, he latched on to a through ball and scuffed it past the keeper, sparking scenes of jubilation among the maroon hordes.
Sunshine rallied, desperately chasing the equaliser that would have taken them through at Hearts’ expense. But Dall, Carroll and Ninja stood firm.
As the minutes ticked by, Hearts picked Sunshine off on the break several times, only to see a flurry of efforts fly narrowly wide.
The squad was: Tommy O, Gavstro, Ibby, Stampie, Sam, Bruno, Calum, Ninja, Gandhi. Badger was in charge, making it six games unbeaten.
Bruno won the York Hearts Man of the Match vote.
