Hearts lifted the East of Scotland Shield for the first time in ten years after defeating Hibernian 3-1 at Tynecastle on Saturday.
Goals from Dale Baxter, Russell McLean and Euan Henderson meant the Shield – contested at U18s level – would be the latest addition to the Tynecastle trophy room. Jamie Gullane scored Hibs solitary counter.
The East of Scotland Shield was founded in 1875 and is the third-oldest annual tournament in world football.
