A cross from the right-hand side was headed by a Forfar defender straight towards the 22-year old who volleyed the ball into the goal to make it 3-0. Hibs winger Cavanagh stated that she was personally looking to score more goals and in the 61st minute grabbed her second of the game. A trialist played a neat pass to Gammie on the right wing who in turn played the ball back to Lisa Ryan, the fullback whipped the ball in to top scorer Donna Paterson, however her first touch was misplaced and the ball rolled out for a goal kick.
The hosts have had to deal with much tougher sides in recent weeks but have always played with a never-say-die attitude, and in the 51st minute could have started a comeback. Kevin McGreskin’s side continued to see their opposition go for goal as soon as the second period commenced, with Scottish Building Society SWPL Player of the Month nominee Lauren Perry neatly catching a Boyce volley, the former Rangers striker also smashing the woodwork just moments later. A switch-pass from left to right was met by Colette Cavanagh who managed to beat her marker and find the net to double the away side’s lead in the closing stages of the first half. With all these opportunities coming for the visitors it was only a matter of time before a second goal was scored, and as the 38th minute arrived the breakthrough finally arrived. The chances kept coming from the Edinburgh side, as Amy Muir saw a point-blank header sail over the bar, Boyce collecting a Morrison cross but hitting wide and a deflected header from a corner hit the woodwork. A loose ball found its way to a free Carla Boyce at the back post who hit a low driven shot to Perry’s right-hand side to break the deadlock. The Hibees maintained pressure on the home defence and reaped the benefits of their play 29 minutes into the match. Dean Gibson’s side had the first real opportunities when Carla Boyce saw an attempt from outside of the box go wide and a cross-cum-shot from way out by Leah Eddie smacking Lauren Perry’s crossbar. The early stages of the match saw both teams look to gain attacking momentum. Hibs are still breathing down the necks of Spartans for fourth place in Scottish Building Society SWPL 1 after a 5-0 away victory over Forfar Farmington on Sunday.
