Hampden here we come

All 15 tickets for tomorrow's League Cup semifinal against Rangers have now been accounted for. If anyone doesn't yet know how they're getting there, contact one of the committee members ASAP.

The Federation of Hearts Supporters Clubs has reported that HMFC are not offering the hoped-for travel subsidy.

Day at the races

York Hearts intends to hold a club raceday on Friday, 16 May, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of HMFC's 1998 Scottish Cup triumph.

The anniversary falls on the day of the third and final day of the May meeting at York Racecourse, and the plan is that we will meet in ton for lunch before decamping to Knavesmire.

More details will follow in due course.

Play it again Sam

STRIKER Sam Outing was the star of the show, as York Hearts ran riot Browns in last night's derby match.

The 22-year-old "did a de Vries" bagging four goals as Hearts romped to a 5-1 win.
Browns had struck first, midway through the first half, but Hearts bounced back in style and could easily have won by a greater margin.
The greens' goal, which came against the run of play, was a controversial one. Hearts were caught napping at the back, but the goalscorer looked at least a foot inside the area when he poked the ball past Rich in the Hearts goal.
Such set-backs have unsettled York Hearts before, but this time they were spurred on by the injustice. Aitchison missed a gilt-edged chance soon after the goal, but Outing, above, scored just before half-time to make it 1-1 at the turn-around.
Early in the second-half, Outing bagged his and Hearts' second, before making the game safe with the gol of the game. Dall played a long ball from his own half and, with his back to goal, Outing controlled it and swivelled in one movement, before striding forward and lashing it home.
Dall then got in on the act, cutting in from the left to fire low past the keeper, before Outing completed the rout in the closing minutes, finding the net via the far post after a neat pass by Carroll.
The squad was: Johnston, Dall, Aitchison, Carroll, Hardie, Outing, Beattie, Burnett
The man of the match award went, inevitably, to Outing.

Back to winning ways

York Hearts FC recorded their first win since October, with a hard fought 1-0 victory over Carpetright.
The maroons produced their best performance of the season, and got their reward early in the second half when Sam Outing finished off an excellent move.
Skipper Brian Dall's raking pass was flicked on superbly by Bedo, and Outing held off the defence to rifle a shot into the keepers top-left hand corner.
Hearts survived a few scares late on, with Rich pulling off several oustanding saves, but held on for a deserved three points.
Goalscorer Sam won the man of the match award.
The squad was: Johnston, Dall, Aitchison, Carroll, Beattie, Outing, Bedingham, Ong, Hardie.
