Came across a reference to Hibs winning something called the Norfrost Cup in 1995/96. It seems to have been a competition that only ran for about 4 years. Hamilton, Inverness and East Fife were the other winners. Must be my old age as I've got no recollection of that whatsoever. Can anybody explain what that competition was?

I can't remember the format but I do recall going to see hibs v wick academy. 6-1 was the score if I remember rightly. I lived in Wick at the time and it was brilliant seeing them come up and play.

I should add that Norfrost at the time was the biggest employer in Caithness.

Where did you come across this reference?
I've never heard of it despite being a season ticket holder and away regular around that time.

It was played as a pre season friendly.

This is a new one on me too. The texaco cup and other ideological trophies spring to mind but I've never heard of the Norfrost :dunno:

Were these the games we played at Murrayfield because the North and South stands weren't finished?

I see from this that Hibs also won the Inverness Tournament in 1978/79, don't remember that either
