View From The Field: Player’s Comment (Joelle Murray column)

The Hibernian captain writes after a Sky Sports Cup semi-final win over Glasgow City, the club’s fiercest rivals of the past decade and heavy favourites having won 4-0 a few weeks earlier. Murray describes the plan, staying compact and forcing City to play around rather than through them, and gives the credit to Krystyna Freda, a former Glasgow City player with a point to prove, who forced Jenna Clark into the mistake that opened the scoring. Hibs would face Rangers in the final at Tynecastle on 11 December, the first Scottish women’s game broadcast live on Sky. She also covers a squad turnover of nearly fifty per cent, arrivals delayed by visa problems, Rachael Small’s return after childbirth, and free tickets for a record-chasing Capital Cup against Hearts.
