On a perfect Day for a game of football, on an excellent pitch, Hearts were looking to bounce back from the disappointment of exiting the cup in their last game. The Opposition were second in the league and Hearts were in pole position looking to maintain their 100% start to the season. The first half was all Hearts and they saw the majority of the ball testing the keeper on several occasions. Ryan Carroll was introduced for Morgan worried around 15 minutes into the game. Greg Dyl and Sam Huzsar had the beating of the opposition on the right hand side and were causing them problems with some dangerous crosses into the box. Morgan Worrad was reintroduced into the game, replacing Ryan Carroll around 30 minutes into play. Hamilton Rescova throughout the half was holding the ball up well and his link play was good.However Hearts didn’t take advantage of their dominance and they were “nearly” men in terms of the performance.ISports rarely threatened Hearts, but put them under pressure from set plays without looking like scoring.

It looked like the game was going to be 0-0 at the break however hearts made their pressure pay when Jo Wej got on the end of a loose ball to put the them in the lead at the break and ease the pressure they had put on themselves at the beginning of play.

Half time 1-0

Hearts doubled their lead through Morgan Worrad bursting down the line early into the second half. Their attitude and commitment was 100% better than their last outing, something the management team demanded. They secured the game when Greg Dyl made it three as Aaron Longden ran the ball out of defence, played to Shaun Whelan who slotted Greg in who finished in the bottom right corner with around 25 minutes to go.

At his point the management team made numerous substitutions introducing Steve Arnold and George Davidson for his full debut. Steve Arnold made a real impact when coming on running at the defence and getting the fourth of the game.

Hearts continued to rotate players, whilst ensuring a clean sheet was intact. Lewis Wilman scored late on to make it 5-0 to maintain their 100% start to the season. There is still a lot more to come from this side and hopefully this will help them challenge for the title come May.

FINAL SCORE HEARTS 5- ISPORTS 0
