Blackjacks Bounce Back

York Hearts returned to winning ways on Thursday night, with a 6-4 win over MDFC at Clifton Moor.
In a topsy-turvy match, the Jambos struggled before rallying late on to earn a much-needed victory.
After two heavy defeats in their previous two matches, including a 21-2 reverse that spawned the nickname "The Blackjacks", Hearts were desperate to secure three points.
But with Badger missing from the sidelines, Hearts were disorganised early on, and some sloppy defending midway through the first half left allowed MDFC to take the lead.
The Jambos hit back fairly quickly, and went in at the break with a 2-1 lead, only for more defensive lapses to gift MDFC two goals in quick succession in the early stages of the second half.
Hearts levelled to make it 3-3, but yet more catastrophic defending saw MDFC regain their lead within seconds.
Belatedly though, Hearts pulled their socks up and took command of the game, rattling in three goals in the final 15 minutes to seal the win.
Bedo was the star of the show, bagging a hat-trick, with Bruno (2) and Radek also getting on the scoresheet. MDFC hit the woodwork three times and will consider themselves a bit unfortunate but, over the piece, Hearts probably just about deserved the win.
Bedo won the man of the match award. The squad was: Aitchison, Carroll, Beattie, Hardie, Burnett, S. Outing, Bedingham, Jones, Radek, Barclay.
