The sun set last night on York Hearts' dreams of European qualification, as they bowed out of the PlayFootball Ibiza tournament by the narrowest of margins.
In true Scottish style, the Jambos saw a quarter-final place slip from their grasp, ultimately being knocked out on goal-difference.
Hearts began the 5-a-side contest with a 5-1 victory, but could only draw their second game 0-0. A 6-0 defeat against a team of ex-pros followed, leaving the Jambos needing six points from their last two games to qualify.
A 4-2 win in Match 4 set up a do-or-die final match against Yorkshire Terriers, and with three minutes left Hearts were leading 5-0 and heading for the quarter-finals.
But the Terriers bagged two late consolation goals that meant Hearts missed out on one of the "best-runner-up" spots.
A nasty leg injury to Sam "Kermit" Outing added to the disappointment.
The squad was Aitchison, Dall, Beattie, Carroll, Beddingham, S. Outing, Burnett, Jones.
Burnett won the vote as York Hearts player of the night.

Kermit said he pulled a calf, probably better looking than his normal Saturday night dog!!
Oh how the originality of that 'joke' has me in stitches! Not.
Bring on Tues!
Why would you need stitches when you pull a calf??????
