Whitehill Welfare 2 Hearts XI 0


An evenly contested match with very few chances until McDonald got into a tangle with his central defenders in the 44th minute leaving Wayne McIntosh with an easy job to tap the ball home. Then in the 45th minute Welfare's Christie was brought down in the box and Wayne McIntosh scored easily from the from the spot.

Second half was mostly Whitehill with Hearts best chance falling to Thorarinsson who shot wide with just the keeper to beat and was also denied by a good stop from the Whitehill keeper. The home side almost made it 3-0 in the 80th minute after a good cross from Walker which Doig headed just wide.

Some excellent performances from Whitehill sporting their new strip and all in all a great workout for the squad and we believe a first ever win over a Hearts side by Whitehill?
