“The girls produced a really disciplined performance and moved the ball around well throughout the 90 minutes.

“Cumbernauld sat in deep and tried to make it difficult for us.  As a result we had lot of possession, so we needed to remain patient and find the right opportunity.

“Two goals in as many minutes gave us comfort and the game was killed off by half-time. It was nice to give everyone some game-time and it’s a pleasant way to start the weekend.”

Hibernian: Fife, Williamson, Brownlie, Hunter, Smith (Tweedie 46’), Robertson, Arthur (Heron 55’), Michie (Cornet 35’), Arnot, Richards, Harrison (Johnstone 46’). Subs all used.
