West played really well again and
put in a great team performance, and should really have taken all
3 points, but some poor decisions, and not taking their chances
again cost them.
Hibs definitely started more
brightly but the West defence of Adam Thornhill, Hibs started the second half more strongly but still never got a shot on target and West constantly looked dangerous on the break, but with the linesman flag quickly up it was very difficult. West still created lots of chances but the keeper saved several shots including a good strike from Chris fifteen minutes in. The poor decisions continued from the referee when he tried to give a penalty for a dubious hand ball after the a Hibs player had already been flagged offside, but they did score from a good cross and header from their only shot on target shortly after. The ref (Hibs Manager!) didn't give up on trying to give his team the advantage by awarding another penalty when the ball hit a West player in the back but justice was done when this was brilliantly saved by Alex Cobb, who had a very competent game in goal. The game saw excellent play from the West team, but what would have been a good competitive game and West victory following the home defeat against them, was spoiled by the Hibs officials. Final Score: Riverside Hibernian 1 - 1 St. Albans City West
