Celtic Tayside v Hibs Girls U17s
League Match: Lochee Park, Dundee 16/09/2007
Score: 1 - 6
Hibs overpowered a physical Celtic Tayside team in a one-sided encounter at Lochee Park, Dundee.
Hibs took the game to the opposition from the start and gained a series of corner kicks, the third of which was nodded in by Kirsten Weir. Despite having the lions share of possession Hibs failed to press home their advantage and Celtic equalised via an own goal after 15 minutes when a cross from the byeline bounced awkwardly off the extremely wet and greasy surface and then off the knee of Kirsten Weir into the top corner of the Hibs net – 1-1.
Despite a number of corner kicks, free kicks and throw-ins in and around the Celtic box Hibs failed to convert until the 30th minute when Lisa Robertson cut in from the touchline past two defenders to slam a low shot into the far corner – 1-2 at half time.
Following a stern talking to at half- time Hibs stepped up a gear and quickly put the game beyond Celtic. Gemma Robb scored the third, gliding past a couple of defenders and tucking it past the keeper. Jinky scored the fourth, flicking home acrobatically following a neat run and cut back from the bye-line by Lisa Robertson. Jinky also scored the fifth, running onto a fine through ball by Gemma Robb and slotting high past the keeper for a fine 2nd goal for herself and a fifth for her team. Lisa Robertson scored the sixth goal, winning the ball in midfield with her back to goal, turning in between two Celtic midfielders before setting off on a strong run towards the Celtic goal and past a further 3 defenders before finding the top corner from 18 yards.
