Defeat at the hands of the League Champions

York Hearts FC suffered a 2 -0 defeat last evening in a match which saw Elvington Floorcraft crowned Champions of the Championship. The good news, however, is that York Hearts FC remain in the Championship next season as results elsewhere ensured that relegation would no longer be a concern.
The defeat was no disgrace, as a spirited performance from a pool of 7 players ensured that Elvington had to work hard to ensure the victory. In fact, had it not been for the outstanding performance of their goalkeeper, a victory was within grasp for the battling Jambos.
The loss of a goal early in the second half from a speculative 25 yard drive was enough to put YHFC on the back foot. Goalkeeper Brian "Dallskaleinen" was a touch unfortunate to see the ball land in the net, after the shot, which looked to be going over the bar, dropped into the net after a touch from the keeper which unfortunately took enough pace off the ball to ensure the resulting goal.
From that point onwards YHFC tried to force the pace but were once again caught out at the back when a break from Elvington resulted in the killer second goal. Despite the loss of 2 goals Dallskaleinen was justifiably awarded the Man of the Match.
Onwards and Upwards as they say and with 2 games scheduled for next Tuesday evening YHFC will be looking to bounce back quickly.

Team: Dallskaleinen, Beattie, Carroll, Ong, Burnett, Outing and Aitchison

MoM: Dallskaleinen

"Brian Arfur Arrold Ibby Dallskelainen" - how much would it cost to get that on the back of a shirt?!

He's got more names than the phonebook.
