Hibs U 15s 3 : Cumbernauld Cosmos 2
Played at St Augustines,
A dry and cloudy Saturday saw
Hibs U15 Girls kick-off against Cumbernauld Cosmos.
Hibs were quickly on the attack
with some good play from Rebecca in midfield. A great run from Gemma kept up the
pressure and Gillian was unlucky not to capitalise on Rosie's through ball.
It was Cosmos who made the
breakthrough however following confusion in the Hibs defence that allowed Jodie
to convert into an empty net.
Hibs rallied and forced a corner
following an excellent through ball from Coral that saw
Rosie almost equalised on 25
minutes and this was followed by excellent attempts from Gillian who hit the
post and Dionne who narrowly missed with the rebound.
Hibs were in the ascendancy and
virtually parked themselves in the Cosmos half of the pitch. Cosmos were
nevertheless dangerous on the break and Rebekah and Anja in the Hibs defense had
to be on their guard to give goalkeeper Nikki protection.
The Hibs equaliser came from the
penalty spot when Coral converted after Dionne had been impeded in the box in
what looked like a dubious penalty decision.
The teams went into halftime
level at 1-1.
Hibs were quickly back on the
attack with Rosie putting Dionne through from the left wing.
Cosmos were quick on the break however and Melia needed to be alert to
clear up.
Hibs continued to dominate with
Gemma and
Cosmos seemed to up the pace
after they fell behind which made for a very exciting closing period.
They equalised 10 minutes from time when Louise shot high into the net
from inside the box.
A final flurry from Hibs produced
a winner when Gemma chipped over the keeper from just inside the box. Hibs
kept up the pressure and almost increased their lead before the end of an
entertaining contest.
