YHFC gone for a "Burton"

York Jambos were beaten by top of the league Burton Lane Phoenix at the Roko stadium last night. At times the Jambos played some great football and had Burton Lane on the back foot, only some great goalkeeping kept the jambos out. 13-4 was the final score but it was a much closer match than the score suggests. Kev "Batman" Jones had a great match in midfield and was rightly awarded a shared MOM with Gavstro Aitchison. Bruno, Ghandi, Kermit(pikey c...) and Ibby with another unmissed penalty were the goal scorers. Ghandi missed a late penalty and didn,t even hit the bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next time Ibby (even if he is in goal) will be taking the penalty!!!!!
The forfiet of naming the Hearts cup winning team of 98 or 2006 was completed by all but 2 members so the fines will go well towards a couple of beers at the end of the season. Next weeks forfiet is to make a model of yourself in a Hearts shirt and bring it to the pub. This should be fun.
Finally, good luck to Bruno who flys out to Spain for a huge jolly, have a good one mate, see you in a couple of months.x

York Hearts "Off Track"

The Jambos went down to another defeat at the hands of Network Rail at the Roko Stadium last night. A poor start saw a neat passing, well organised side outplay YHFC and cruise into an early lead. Only some great chasing down by Calum, some crushing challenges by Gavstro and some great saves by Rich Jono kept the score down as half time approached. When they "could be bothered", YHFC had there opponants pegged back and had a lot more of the ball .Poor finnishing by some and great saves by the Rail keeper and some bad luck from Bedo,s great efforts kept the opposition in front, too far for the Jambos to peg back and it finnished 9-6 with Gavstro and Ghandi picking up a joint man of the match award.
The sporting Jambos ( apart from Ibby who was to knackered too) then played another game against Stillington as their opponants hadn,t turned up. Ibby went to the pub!!!
Back in HQ (The White Horse) the forfiet was to wear head decoration. Bandanas were the prefered choice but they were outdone by Rich Jono with his pony tail extention. Next weeks is having to recite the first 11 in the 98 or 2006 cup final or sing Hearts Hearts Glorious Hearts in its entirety. Good luck!!!

Another vital point

York Hearts took another step towards safety in the Tuesday league, with a vital point against title-chasing opposition.
The Jambos took on Word-To-Your-Mother at Huntington, knowing deafeat would leave them staring relegation in the face. But a battling performance saw the maroons earn a 1-1 draw that keeps their survival hopes alive.
Hearts fought well in the first half but fell behind shortly after the break, when a crisp move carved the YH defence open.
WTYM had chances to add to their lead, but at the other end Sammy Outing had a loud penalty appeal turned down.
Tommy Outing kept Hearts in it with an excellent save low to his left, then with three minutes left the maroons levelled, when Sam Outing's corner was headed home by Aitchison, for his first goal in 14 months.
Hearts almost stole it in the dying seconds, when another corner found the head of A Trialist, but the WTYM keeper held his downward effort.
The team was: T. Outing, Aitchison, Trialist, Ong, Beattie, S. Outing.
Aitchison was named Hearts man of the match.

Running for Hearts

York Hearts' big charity run is less than two months away folks!
The guys and gals have been putting in hours of training, ahead of running 10k in October for Cancer Research.
There's still time to sponsor them - if every York Hearts member chipped in even a few quid, it would go a long way to helping us hit our target.

Rangers 2-0 Hearts

Two from York Hearts made the long trip north to Ibrox yesterday, for Hearts' SPL meeting with Rangers.
Sam and Gav headed up by road in high spirits, but returned disappointed after slack defending and lousy refereeing combined to give Rangers a 2-0 win.
The Jambos played well and could well have got a point at least, had it not been for some stupid indiscipline by Miko and a strong Hearts penalty claim being turned down moments before Rangers' late second goal.
The trip itself went relatively smoothly - aside from Gav tripping up a toddler in a service station, losing the car in a car-park, and having to take drastic evasive action to avoid a nutter on the A59 anyway.
The next official trip is on September 20 when Hearts host Inverness Caledonian Thistle, although if people are wanting to go to games before then, drop us a line and we may be able to help coordinate travel.

It's back...

The date has been set for the Second York Hearts St Andrew's Night Celebration.
This year's bash will take place on Friday 28 November, at the Park Inn Hotel in the city centre.
Tickets are available now, priced at £25 a head (same price as last year).

Viceroy "too hot" for Jambos

York Hearts went down 9-5 to Viceroy at The Roko Stadium on Thursday night. Like the curry enjoyed by a few "die hearts" later, Viceroy were just too hot for the Hearts side to handle. 5-1 down at half time was a fair reflection and a 4-4 second half performance gave us a bit of pride back which was well deserved. Although there were no outstanding performances (the MOM award got votes for two players that were not playing) Bruno and Barcs shared the award for their determined performances. The team was, Rich Jono, Sam, Calum, Ninja, Ghandi, Barcs, Bruno, Ibby, Gavstro and Andy the ringer. No forfiet was offered for last week so we had a boring night in HQ. Next week we all have to wear head decoration for the match as well as the pub. Hope to see some interesting designs gents!!!!

Hearts v Hull in The White Horse

Dan has kindly agreed to show Hearts take on the mighty Premier League side Hull City in The White Horse on Sunday, kick off 2.00pm. One or two may be there for the odd beer or 7 before kick off and there is talk of possibly a post match drink as well.
All are welcome, bring your friends (if you have any) and lets cheer on the Jambos and our new mesiah " Shabba". We can also toast the fact that the wee team are out of Europe already!!!!

Jambos caught sleeping

York Hearts FC looked like they forgot to get out of bed last night(in more ways than one). After a frantic start and a screamer from Steve Carroll, with his left foot, yes his LEFT foot, we fell asleep and were soon 5-1 behind as Jetscreen took control on a rainswept evening at the Roko Stadium. It wasn,t a bad performance by the Jambos, they were beaten by a better team who were for most of the game first to the ball and had more of the luck, two deflected own goals didn,t help the moral of the team. The other scorers were Bedo with two and Ghandi and the man of the match was Steve (Stampy) Carroll.
Back in the White Horse, the regulars did another double take as the team embraced the forfiet set last week by Ghandi and walked in waring their pyjamas. Kev Jones looked rather fetching in his gingam pj top and pink arse length dressing gown and Calum managed to fit into his original 7-8 year olds with a front comfort pocket. Watch this space for next weeks forfiet, Stampy is taking his time deciding what to call. This could be messy!!!!
The team was: Rich Jono, Calum, Bruno, Stampy, Ghandi, Kev, Bedo, Gavstro, Ninja and Barcs.
