Our first time back at UWC in a long while and Hibs started well. Lots of possession and a few chances but they came and went and the very thing we were wary of, set-pieces, cost the first goal. The second-ball chance was tipped onto the cross-bar by Bill and the Hibs defence seemed to think it was going over, but it dropped to a Hotspurs player who scored from close range. It went back to the same pattern of Hibs possession with the odd chance until the break.

The second-half was a different story. Hotspurs looked way more threatening and Hibs struggled to get back into a rhythm and dropped their level. Panda had to save the day with a last-ditch tackle and Bill also rushed out to prevent the second. Hibs plugged away with Matt threatening and Bolts almost getting in as Hotspurs continued to defend well.

With 6 minutes to go, another free-kick conceded by Hotspurs, led to the penalty that brought the equaliser. Bolts tucked it away emphatically. There was still time for a second yellow for Marcus, who halted a counter-attack, for Hotspurs to threaten, and for Matt to clip the cross-bar from 25 yards with the last kick.

A fair result. Hotspurs' CB and goal-scorer was their outstanding player and Panda gets it for Hibs for his defending in crucial moments.
