Match Report

TTA report

The Hearts keeper saved Sharp's pen then transfer-seeking McKennan scored with one (32) and with a raging right foot shot (33). Hearts (with ex-JAG Parker their best player) re-jigged their forward line after half-time and it took solid defending to keep it at 2-0 until a goal (82) made for a tense finish. Still joint top.
