Match Report

TTA report

A makeshift Hibs team (perhaps with an eye on the cup final) were hit for 6. A volley by Park from 16 yards (30 secs), a Melrose header (6), a Somner shot (15), a glancing header by Melrose (21), a lob by Melrose (48) and a 25-yard drove by O'Hara (68) did the damage. Hibs' consolation came at 5-1 (53).
