Hibs U19s Smash Dundee United, Secure League Cup Final

0:00Hibbs under 19s, smashed their way into the cast Elite U-19 League Cup Final with a dominant 4-1 win over Dundee United last night. Jamie McMurdo dropped a hat trick, Dean Cleelan banged in the fourth from distance, and Jack Anderson got one back late for the hosts. This victory feels like payback after Dundee United ended Hibbs' 14-month unbeaten league streak last month. McMurdo now has 10 goals across all comps this season, and the match got heated with yellow cards flying, but Hibbs kept it pro. The young squad was buzzing post-game. McMurdo said they're thrilled to reach finals, that's why they play, and praised their strong finishes all match. Coach Dairn McGregor called it an excellent showing from start to finish, especially with Dundee United proving tough before. Despite six key players out injured or suspended, McGregor spotlighted standouts like McMurdo, Owen Calder, Josh McDonald, wearing the arm band, and Louis Gilly at the back. He even subbed on rookies, Murray McDermott, and Jackson Thompson, who held their own and showed real promise.

1:05Now Hibbs chased Civilware on two fronts. The league titles tight, topped only by gold difference to St. Mirren, and this final set for May. Momentum's building for these kids to make history. From your city, powered by AI, this is Edinburgh News Today. I'm Corey with the story.
