Match Report

TTA report

A long, low drive by Grove from a tapped free-kick (18) was cancelled out (30). Hearts hit woodwork 3 times (once from a penalty) and when it looked as if a draw was inevitable the crowds drifted away only for a long drive from 30 yards to beat Jackson (90). A cruel end but a deserved win.
