Mens Team Match Report - Thornton Hibs

FULL TIME | Thornton Hibs 1–2 Edinburgh South 🔴⚪

Our first ever win at Memorial Park! 👊

In tough conditions, South showed real grit and determination. We took the lead when Stuart Martin’s cross was deflected into the net. Thornton responded and pressed hard, pulling one back before going on the front foot.

But the lads dug deep, and Aiden Davies was in the right place at the right time to tap home after Charlie Stewart’s header crashed off the bar.

👏 A massive effort from everyone as we make it 4 wins on the bounce. A brilliant result away from home — well done, boys!

The South starting lineup was as as below with 1 change today from the side that beat Whitehill as Kenny O’Brien replaced Fletcher Hendry.
