Another trip, another win

FOUR York Jambos made the trip north to Tynecastle, for Hearts' SPL clash with Dundee Utd at the weekend.
Ian Warner and Terence Tate were joined by new members Gill Maskell and Bruce Bottomley, and were treated to a badly-needed Hearts win, thanks to Larryea Kingston's first-half strike.
The result keeps the Jambos in with a chance of making the top-six... and also maintains York Hearts' excellent record this season.
Our official club trips to Tynecastle this season have now yielded 16 points from a possible 18 - a remarkable return given how dire Hearts have been in most other games.
The next trip will be announced once the post-split fixtures are announced.

Another season begins...

York Hearts begin the new Football Mundial season tomorrow night, with a clash against N-Power at Huntington. Kick off is 8pm. After an uncomfortable relegation battle last season, the maroons will be looking to challenge at the top end of the league this time round.
On Thursday, the Jambos are then in action in the PlayFootball Championship once again. Our opponents are not yet known, but kick off is 9pm.
Can all players please advise whether they're available for either or both games.

Hearts lose again

York Hearts went down 8-2 against Viceroy FC, as their losing start to the PlayFootball season continued.
Hearts were outfought in the first half, and only good goalkeeping by Dall kept the first-half deficit to 3-0. Although Hearts found the net twice in the second half, Viceroy proved far more clinical, and ran out fairly comfortable winners.
Bedo and Barclay got Hearts' goals in a match that also saw both goalkeepers save a penalty. Ibby won the Hearts man of the match vote; Warner was injured in the warm-up; and the game also saw a debut for new signing "Razor" Radek.
The Hearts squad was: Dall, Aitchison, Carroll, Beattie, Ong, Warner, Bedingham, Jones, Radek.

Hearts 3-5 Deportivo

York Hearts went down 5-3 to Deportivo lack-of-talent in their opening game of the PlayFootball season last night.
The Jambos went behind early on when a stray rebound from the back boards left Aitchison stranded, but Outing levelled the score midway through the first half.
Hearts had several chances to take the lead, but a combination of poor finishing and good goalkeeping kept them at bay, and two goals in quick succession at the other end meant the maroons trailed 3-1 at the break.
The Jambos took the game to their opponents in the second half, and got an early goal to cut the deficit. But Deportivo regained the two-goal cushion soon after, and although Hearts pulled another one back, Deportivo made the game safe with a fifth late on.
Outing (2) and Bedo got Hearts' goals. Callum Beattie was Hearts man of the match.
The squad was: Aitchison, Dall, Warner, Beattie, Outing, Bedingham, Ong, Burnett.

New Day, New League

Tonight sees York Hearts FC begin their new Thursday Night slot with a grading game against tbc opposition. YH will be playing at the new PlayFootball complex at Clifton Moor every Thursday night from now on, in a 7-a-side league on the site's start of the art pitches.

The Thursday squad is the Tuesday squad who have decided unanimously to transfer to the new league, however a few members are staying on to play in the Tuesday night league as well playing in the Thursday league, allowing themselves and any new players more time on the pitch. Anyone who wishes to play on Tuesdays (members or non-members) who hasn't previously been involved before please ring Sam Outing on 07920 008685.

Bittersweet Finale For York's Jambos

The Football Mundial season came to an end for YHFC on Tuesday night and it turned out to be a bittersweet finale for the Jambos.
In the opening game YH went down by a single goal in a close encounter with Dilemma Artworks. YH had some good chances but the strong winds made it hard for either side to play any real football and on the night Dilemma took their chance better and came away with the win. The victory did little for them as their goal difference meant neither side progressed to the last 16.

In the second game, and the Jambos' final of the season, the winds died down slightly and YH were allowed to play some more attractive football against 3rd place FC Gash. Chances came for Outing, Ong and Burnett before Bedingham's sweeping drive opened the scoring towards the end of the first half. Gash never really got into the game and were outplayed and out-muscled by a more confident side, with further clever footwork resulting in another chance each for Outing and Burnett, before debutant Kev Jones forced a stunning save from the FCG 'keeper minutes before the full-time whistle.

Man of the Match went to Ibby Dall in the opener and was shared between Steve Carroll and Bedo in the second. York Hearts finished seventh in the Championship, which this year was won by Elvington Floorcraft and also saw CrazyFruitbat promoted. At the other end Npower and Browns of York drop a tier and joining York Hearts next season will be Clive Owen & Co and Crosby's from the Premiership and White Magic and Leeroy Rovers from League One.

The Squad on Tuesday night was: Dall, Carroll, Outing, Bedingham, Burnett, Beattie, Ong and Jones, with Aldas Ninjauskas issuing instructions from the touchline in Badger's absence.
