Murieston United Girls 1 : Hibs U 15s Girls 4
Played at Bankton Mains,
A dry but bitterly cold Saturday saw Hibs U15 Girls
back in league action against Murieston United Girls.
Hibs were immediately on the attack with Gemma weaving
her way through the Murie defence. Murie
countered and Laura C had to be sharp to clear the danger.
Hibs moved back on the attack and Rosie shot over the bar from just
inside the box. She then put Gemma through but her shot went just wide. Hibs
kept up the pressure with Dionne and Laura S both being unlucky with shots on
the Murie goal.
It was Emma who broke the deadlock however with an
amazing left foot shot following a tremendous run through the Murie defense.
Hibs almost increased their lead with a flick from Gillian after a corner from
Emma. The infrequent Murie attacks
were well contained by Coral, Rebekah,
Hibs were quickly on the attack in the second half and
Rosie put Gillian through with a well placed ball.
Gillian was brought down in the box and the referee had no choice but to
award a penalty kick. Coral stepped
up to take it and tucked it away into the corner of net to make it 2-0.
This spurred Murie into action and they almost pulled
one back. Hibs were very
dangerous on the counter attacks particularly on the flanks with great runs from
Emma with support from
Murie took every opportunity to attack however and
Nikki had to be quick to clear on the edge of her box.
This led to a Hibs counter attack and Emma made it 3-0 with a shot from
the angle of box. Hibs were now in
full flow and Gillian deservedly got the 4th with a beautiful chip over the
keeper from just inside the 18-yard box.
Murie pulled one back though and Nikki had to save to
stop them scoring again, but in the end Hibs ran out comfortable 4-1 winners to
continue their run of good form.
