Dropping like flies

York Hearts' Thursday night football team has been hit by a series of injury blows. Adam Burnett has broken his wrist, while Kev Jones and Steve Carroll have both sustained leg injuries. The setbacks come just weeks after veteran utility man Brian Dall cracked his ribs in a bruising encounter at the Roko Arena.

And they're off...

York Hearts are organising a mass outing to York Races on Friday 15 May. We'll be gathering in Brigantes from noon, heading to Knavesmire, and then heading to the Ackhorne after the final race of the day. Last year's event was a great success - let's have another cracking day to remember.
