St Andrew's Night

Plans are now firmly in place for the 2nd York Hearts St Andrews Night Celebration, to be held at the Park Inn Hotel on Friday 28 November.

Like last year, we have a great night planned, including a hot Scottish meal; disco; raffle; auction and quiz. Two ex-Hearts players, Henry Smith and Roy Kay will also be joining us, and we remain hopeful of getting a present-day player as well.

Tickets are £25 and can be brought from any of the committee members. Contact us on yorkhearts@yahoo.co.uk or 07791 626238.

Blood, Sweat and Beers at Brigantes

Kev "Batman" Jones is hosting a fundraising extravaganza at Brigantes on Micklegate on Wednesday 24th September. It is to raise extra money for Cancer Research on top of the money raised from sponsorship for the 10k run being attempted by 16 York Jambos on the 12th October.
There will be a quiz, a raffle, pig racing!!! and other thing going on but, the most important thing is a special beer is being brewed for us and will be helping raise funds with a donation from the brewry from every pint sold. Look out for "Hearts of Gold" when you arrive.
Please tell all your friends (or even your only friend) about it and lets make it an evening to remember, if we don,t drink too much beer!!!

YHFC "Stunned by Lack Of Talent"

York Jambos were outplayed and beaten 5-1 by bottom of the league Deportivo Lack Of Talent at the Roko Stadium last night. They were never allowed to get into their stride bya side desparate for their first win of the season. Always second to the ball, couldn,t hit a cows arse with a banjo, couldn,t pass wind!!! And worse!!!! We were shocking. Cant think of anything else to write accept Barcs won the MOM award, it wasn,t difficult, Gavstro came second and he didn,t even play. Not even going to mention the team as they are embarassed enough already.
Some great photo,s of the young Jambos in the pub afterwards but i,m sure there were some random ones as the resemblances were slim. Next week its painted fingernails for the boys, lets hope we don,t play like girls again.

York Jambos "fail to rise from the flames"

York Hearts FC went down fighting at the Roko Stadium last night. It all started so well when Ghandi stunned Burton Lane Phoenix with the opening goal early on only for their vetran keeper to pull off some exeptional saves before they started to tear the threadbare Jambos apart. 1-0 after 3 mins became 6-1 after 7!!!!!! Pooor Rich Jono in goal didn,t know what had hit him, but it wasn,t lack of effort or determination on Hearts part, they were torn apart by a younger, fitter and better team. Everyone put maximum effort in to the game and there could have been 7 MOM,s .Kev "batman" Jones and Calum "droopydrawers" Beattie had outstanding games , Rich"Grumpy Arse" Jono was inspired, Alex "Bedo" Beddingham had there keeper wondering what day it was and almost scored from a clearance near his own box, Steve "Stampy" Carroll and Brian "Ibby" Dall kicked shit out of everyone and Gav "Ghandi" Anderson strolled to another MOM performance with a Swashbuckling display and 4 of the five goals scored. The other goal was scored by Ibby with a perfectly placed shot in the bottom corner. No penaltys were missed by the Jambo,s this week but Burton Lane missed from the spot. There player muttered something like "the ugly leeper put him off"

3 forfiet failures this week but the prize, (if there was one) must go to Kev who spent hours making a model of himself which was truer than life itself, Ghandi made apoor "bluetack" effort, Ibby went "Bertie Bassett" and Calum came as himself???? Check out th photo if it worked!!!

Next week you have to bring a photo of yourself when you were 5-6 years old !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scotland

Tomorrow's Macedonia v Scotland World Cup qualifier will be shown live in York Hearts' HQ - the White Horse pub in Bootham.
Kick-off is 2pm. All welcome.

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
