Five star showing from Thornton Hibs

Playing into the fierce gale, Joe Kinninmonth put Thornton ahead in the 21st minute when he smashed home John Soutar's low cross. Then, five minutes later, Garry Thomson was brought down by Ben Wright, with Stuart Drummond giving Elliot Turnbull no chance from the spot.

Drummond claimed his second in the 57th minute by heading home Jordan Lamont's corner kick and, by this time, it looked all over bar the shouting, with Ryan Linton, in the Hibs' goal, having one of the quietest afternoons he'll ever experience.

Kinninmonth snatched his second in the 83rd minute when the ball rolled into his path after Thomson's netbound effort had been blocked before Soutar, in his first start for the club, completed the scoring with a well-struck shot.

Just as it looked as if Linton's kit would not require to be washed, he was called into action in the last minute as he pulled off a terrific save to prevent the Streamers' captain, Kieran Bullen, from claiming a consolation goal.

GI Joinery Hibs' man of the match was Dean McMillan.
