Parker-Smith who<br />

made a fantasic diving<br />

save to deny a powerful<br />

half volley inside the<br />

box. The game then<br />

opened up as both<br />

teams looked to find<br />

the back of the net.<br />

EUHV then doubled<br />

their lead on the 75th<br />

minute and it was<br />

Nichola Sturrock again<br />

who was instrumental<br />

in creating the goal. Her<br />

through ball was met<br />

calmy by Anna Hume to<br />

slot past the oncoming<br />

Hearts goalkeeper, 2-0.<br />

Unfortunately the<br />

lead was diminished to<br />

only one goal within 5<br />

minutes of Anna Hume<br />

scoring. After calls for<br />

offside and an initial<br />

save from Parker-Smith<br />

Hearts managed to find<br />

the back of the net on<br />

the 80th minute. Hearts<br />

continued to press<br />

and were awarded a<br />

penalty only 3 minutes<br />

later following a late<br />

challenge by Beth<br />

Sutherland<br />

in the<br />

penalty area.<br />

The Hearts<br />

Captain<br />

Paterson stepped<br />

up to take it but was<br />

denied the equaliser by<br />

EUHV HAVE BEATEN HEARTS IN ALL<br />

THREE MEETINGS THIS SEASON.<br />

an unbelievable save.<br />

Charlotte Parker-Smith<br />

committed to a dive<br />

but somehow managed<br />

MATCH REPORT<br />

to move her left foot<br />

up to stop the ball<br />

down the middle of the<br />

goal with the rebound<br />

then cleared by EUHV<br />

defenders.<br />

With only five minutes<br />

plus a couple of injury<br />

time minutes added on<br />

it was a well managed<br />

final spell for EUHV<br />

to see out the game.<br />

Hearts did have one<br />

final chance on the<br />

stroke of the final<br />

whistle but could only<br />

shoot wide.<br />

The victory, combined<br />

ANNA HUME SCORES IN FIFTH<br />

SUCCESSIVE GAME.<br />

with results in other<br />

matches meant that<br />

EUHV moved up to a<br />

final league position<br />

of fourth in the SWPL2<br />

table.<br />

The new SWPL2<br />

season begins on the<br />

11th February 2018 with<br />

Hearts visiting Peffermil<br />
