EDINA HIBS U13 LOOK SET FOR GOOD SEASON
 

THE highly-rated Edina Hibs under-13 squad beat a very hard-working Leith Athletic outfit 6-0 at the Jewel in an Easter Region fixture in the Lothian Buses sponsored leagues. A good crowd turned out to watch this game in lovely weather in east Edinburgh and spectators were treated to a very enjoyable game that was very closely contested, indeed - up until Edina made the breakthrough in the 28th minute.

The visitors had a few chances to score in the early stages of the game but once Edina got to grips with the game they looked the more impressive side. Their first goal came when big midfielder, Reece Donaldson, won the ball in the middle of the Leith half, took it to his left and ran on to power a great left-foot shot over Leith keeper, Jake Louden, to make it 1-0. There was only one goal in it at the break but when good match referee, Kristian Wilson, got things underway in the second period of the game, the home side took control of the game. Josh Riddell made it 2-0, before Scott Mason added another goal to put the game out of sight of Leith at 3-0.

Andy Keighren smacked home another to increase the lead to 4-0 then Jake Stevenson and the very good Sam Todd took the scoreline to 6-0. Sam also recorded the miss of the game in the second half, when he somehow managed to hit the bar from 6yd out with the goal empty in front of him! Don't 'play it again, Sam'! It was a tough result for the Leith side to bear, but they look capable of making great improvement as the season progresses. Edina Hibs have set a standard for themselves and, with their confidence at a high level, they look set for a good run in the Scottish Cup this season - and every other event they have entered for.
