Hearts Legends v Aegon All Stars – 7th April 2013

Thank you to everyone who supported our match against the Hearts Legends and who helped the Aegon Charity Committee raise £2,200 for charity.

With supporters lining the pitch, the matched kicked off with Hearts taking centre and it was about 30 minutes (or felt like 30 minutes) until Aegon touched the ball.  The game quickly settled down with Hearts having the bulk of possession and Aegon trying to hit on the break. 

With Jim Hamilton and Eddy Jankauskas running the show for Hearts and Keith Stewart the Aegon goalie being kept busy, it was only a matter of time before the breakthrough came.  Aegon managed to hold out until the 30^th minute when Jim Hamilton opened the scoring with a header from a corner.  I think most people expected the floodgates to open, however, the All Stars equalised five minutes later when Scott Mitchell was sent through and lobbed the ball over Henry Smith into the Hearts goal.
