Hibs Women started their pre-season preparations with a comprehensive victory over Boroughmuir Thistle at Meadowbank.
Kathleen McGovern opened the scoring after she linked up well with fellow summer signing Ciara Grant to prod home from a well-worked free-kick.
McGovern added a second a few minutes later then secured her hat trick shortly before halftime, prodding home once more at the back post from Tegan Bowie’s low cross.
Following the second half restart, Erin Clachers and Linzi Taylor made their debut.
Mya Christie extended the scoreline to 4-0 in the 65th minute tapping home Ellis Notley’s low cross.
Kirsty Morrison made sure to carry on the fine form by scoring our fifth soon after.
A mistake by the goalkeeper gifted Kirsty Morrison a great chance and she poked the ball into the empty net from just yards out.
Lia Tweedie headed home for Hibs sixth goal of the afternoon shortly before full-time to round off a well-deserved victory.
