Hearts 8-1 Hamilton Accies
Hearts keep pressure on SWPL leaders Glasgow City with an 8-1 victory over struggling Hamilton Accies.
Goals from Kayla Jardine and a three-minute double from Georgia Timms, including one from the penalty spot, had Hearts comfortably ahead after half an hour at the Oriam.
Josi Giard pulled one back for Accies before the break and the visitors managed to hold Hearts off until Jenna Slattery opened the floodgates on 69 minutes.
Keri Halliday and Bayley Hutchison added to the goals for Eva Olid’s side before Timms completed her hat-trick with 10 to play.
Hutchison grabbed her second, and Hearts’ eighth just before the whistle in Edinburgh.
The result leaves Hearts four points behind Glasgow City following their goalless draw against Hibs while Accies remain rock bottom without a single point.
