Because I started this yesterday on Facebook you are getting two instalments on the same day on the net.


1876 - 15th February, Hibernians recorded their first win, a 1-0 victory against Thistle. The team on that day were –
McGrath, Whelahan, Donnelly, Quinn, Watson, Byrne, Hughes, Kelly, Rourke, Cramer and Meechan.

Frank Watt of the EFA eventually conceded and allowed Hibernians to join the Association.

14th October Hibernians played their first competitive game in the Edinburgh Football Association Cup Shield, losing 2-1 to Thistle. Thistle went on to win the competition after a walk-over in the final when the holders, Third Edinburgh Rifle Volunteers, failed to show up.
