Hibernian Ladies beat Hamilton 8-1 at Albyn Park on Sunday thanks to goals from Abigail Harrison (4), Chloe Arthur (2) and Lucy Graham (2).
The result sees Hibs move to the top of the league and afterwards manager Chris Roberts told the club website: “The new season has been very stop-start and it has been hard to build and maintain any momentum.
“So, it’s a credit to the girls that they have done so well and produced a very professional performance.
“We’re disappointed to have conceded a goal, however we’re pleased with the response against a much-improved Hamilton side.
“It was also good to see the new girls, Abbi and Chloe, get on the scoresheet because they’ve settled in so well since joining.”
Meanwhile Hibernian Girls and Ladies FC have rallied behind the club’s U13 Development squad goalkeeper Gracie Linn, who was earlier this month diagnosed with Leukaemia.
When 10-year-old Gracie found out that treatment would result in her losing her hair, she decided to shave it off and donate it to the Little Princess Trust.
On Sunday the club raised a further £329.50 through gate receipts that they are donating to Linn’s chosen charity, the Sick Kids Friends Foundation, taking her remarkable fundraising to over £14,600!
