I was wondering if anyone could help me out, I am looking for the scores in the four East of Scotland Shield games against Hearts form the 90's. I have checked on iHibs, 'London Hearts' and the Scotsman sites but I have had no luck.
The games were 2nd May 1991 away, 20th April '92 home, 18th April '93 away and 4th May '94 home

I don't have the scores at hand (if at all) but the winners were

90-91 Hibernian
91-92 Hibernian
92-93 Hearts
93-94 Hibernian

I'll search for the scores at home after work

There's a cracking list here:

But it doesn't have the games you are looking for - but it does list the winners. From memory, someone wrote them down from the cup/shield itself.

90/91 Hibernian
91/92 Hibernian
92/93 Heart of Midlothian
93/94 Hibernian

It might be easiest just to go into central library and find them from the Evening News microfilms. Alternatively, you could email the Scotsman Archive Department as you are only looking for 4 results and you have specific dates. I've always found them to be very helpful in the past.

Thanks for the updates. I have been up to the central library and checked the Scotsman and EEN but the games were not listed, most likely because it would have been the youths or reserve teams that completed for it. Also because they were played at the end of the seasons, there is either no home programmes after the games or too close to have a mention.
I did manage to get the 1994 result, Hibs won 2-1 with goals from Graeme Donald and Chis Jackson.

If none of the above avenues have borne fruit, you could try contacting the club to see if they can provide you with the info :dunno:

Couldn't find any info about the East of Scotland Shield ties but found this old Club 86 article on BP Cup Final V Ayr Utd which was around about the same time.

I remember being at the game, over 6500 at the game wasn't bad for a youth tie.
