We are pleased to announce that Kirsty Morrison has signed a one-year contract extension with Hibs Women.
A reliable and intelligent forward, Kirsty made her 100th appearance for the Club last season and marked the occasion by wearing the captain’s armband for our Scottish Cup match against Rangers.
A cracking player and one of the five sponsored by hibs.net last season.Quote:

Only a one year though which is a bit a pish
Seems a bit odd Hearts releasing these players and then Hibs signing them.Quote:

Always thought Grant looked good in midfield for Hearts , one of the better players on the pitch every time we played, I may have her mixed up with someone else but I don't think so. I have seen Hearts singed someone from Aberdeen who was top scorer the league last season and someone from Celtic.Quote:

Scotland 1 Serbia 0
Sweden 0 England 0 (secures England's qualification for Euro 2025).
I was wondering,how many of the recent Scotland squads have played for Hibs at some point or come through the Hibs academy. I think there's a decent number of them.
So what does that mean for Scotland ladies? We've topped our group, seeded in some form of playoff?Quote:

Step in the right direction not playing at Hampden I would say. Not sure what the crowd was at Firhill tonight but even a couple of thousand there would make for a better vibe than a similar number at Hampden.Quote:

Scottish born with a Spanish mum and an English dad and I think she has a great chance to make a good living in a pro set up in future.
Between pregnancy and serious injury Smally has barely played in years. Hope she can find full fitness and avoid injury this season.Quote:

Iirc it's basically to you not putting the same stress on the footballing parts of the body as consistently as those who don't take the necessary breaks involved in the pregnancy and maternity leave periods.
Big drop to go to Bonnyrigg - was there not a team available at a higher level?Quote:

Great start to the season with what is a tricky away match, hopefully tuck away Aberdeen next weekend and get off to a right good start.Quote:

I note that in the opening week of the SWPL no less than 4 teams were torched 0-11, 1-11, 9-0 and 0-7.
4 moneyed teams absolutely clubbing to death the teams that make up the numbers.
Hibs are the only moneyed team that had a match worthy of the name.
This makes our league look Mickey Mouse.
The simple measure of cutting the top league to 10 clubs would see less teams getting torched and Aberdeen need to put resourses into their womens team to stop them looking like an after thought. Losing 0-11 to Rangers today is their current benchmark.
Celtic and Rangers will finish this season 1st and 2nd
Glasgow City and Hearts will finish 3rd and 4th
Hibs will finish 5th
Partick Thistle will finish 6th
and the rest will finish with a horrific negative goal difference
Scores like that benefit no-one and certainly not the reputation of the league.Quote:

Plus 2 will be the new top 8.
Spartans / Queens Park / Aberdeen / Dundee Utd or Montrose could all easily go down.
