All the best from Eski Kanka Jim<BR/><BR/>Afternoon Jim<BR/><BR/>At last a result worthy of reporting, I know I should report anyway but work and<BR/>holidays got in the way. Hibs got back to winning ways against Dunfermline with<BR/>a 3-1 victory. The game should have been over by halftime but again Hibs failure<BR/>to convert their numerous chances into goals gave the opposition hope of picking<BR/>something up from the match. Two crackers from Riordan and a 25 yarder from<BR/>Fletcher proved to be enough to get Hibs over the 40 point mark. They now face<BR/>2nd placed Hearts away on Saturday, a victory there will cut the gap to 3 points<BR/>and start a real fight for second place.<BR/><BR/>Scott Brown again showed why he is breaking into the Scotland squad and with<BR/>Kevin Thomson along side the pair of them dominated the midfield. Hibs movement<BR/>was causing Dunfermline problems but poor finishing was letting Dunfermline off<BR/>the hook. Dunfermline were using the long ball to their big strikers, this paid<BR/>off with the one decent knockdown giving Dunfermline their equaliser on the half<BR/>our mark. Hibs started getting a bit ragged in the second half a they chased the<BR/>winner, maybe this was down to the crowd who have seen Hibs gifting goals over<BR/>the last few weeks. The goals finally came in the second half, a free kick from<BR/>Riordan put Hibs 2-1 up and Fletcher added the third in the last minute.<BR/><BR/>A similar result to Hibs next week will spark a celebration drink or two both in<BR/>Ankara and Edinburgh.<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>AtholeEski Kanka Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409300460469903974noreply@blogger.com
