maroonlegions Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Ruthless Bhoys end the Youth Cup dream AN under-strength Hibs saw their SFA Youth Cup dream shattered ;)as they were hammered 4-1 by Celtic in last night's quarter-final, writes DAVID HARDIE. Having lost David Wotherspoon to injury, Sean Welsh to suspension and with Blair Tolmie on loan at Berwick Rangers and Paul Hanlon promoted to Mixu Paatelainen's first-team squad, Hibs were forced to draft in Fergus Bell:rolleyes: and Calum Booth from their Under-17 side and Scott Smith from the Under-16s. As a result the Hoops totally dominated a match played at Celtic Park, Danny Lafferty opening the scoring before Cillian Sheridan, who has been on the fringes of Gordon Strachan's side, added a second. Ewan Moyes threw Hibs a lifeline as he rose to nod home Jordan Cropley's corner before Celtic goalkeeper Paul Skinner pulled off a wonder save to prevent Patrick Deane grabbing an equaliser.:107years: However, Kevin Cawley ended Hibs hopes when he restored Celtic's two-goal lead with Sheridan claiming his second of the game in the final minute. Hibernian: Grof, Bell (Kelly 78), Booth, Russell, Moyes, Smith, Deane (Johnston 70), Wilson, Byrne, Currie, Cropley. Subs not used: Flynn, Anderson, Martin. even their wee team cannae win a big cup.:107years::107years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
