A young Hibs B side, peppered with three first teamers, put in an incredible display on Saturday and won 0-4 at Balmoor against Scottish League One side Peterhead.
The young Hibees travelled North in the group stages of the KDM Evolution Trophy, and came home with 3 points.
Bolstered by first teamers Kenayo Megwa, goalkeeper Murray Johnson and recent loan signing from Charlton Athletic Zac Mitchell, who got on the scoresheet, Darren McGregor's side were impressive.
Hibs boss David Gray getting much needed game time in to all three.
Jamie McMurdo, Luke Davidson and Josh McDonald completed the scoring.
Speaking to Hibs TV, B Team boss McGregor said:
“It was an excellent performance. I'm actually almost in a wee bit of disbelief because you come up here with a 19s team, a couple of younger first-team lads that were absolutely tremendous and you beat a side that's in League One. They won League Two the previous year and we’ve managed to beat them 4-0.
“It was convincing and I think we could’ve scored more, so it just shows the lads that there's an opportunity to be had. We took it, looked excellent in doing it and I thought they were just tremendous from start to finish."
HIBERNIAN-MAD VIEW:
A fantastic result and good signs for the club's future.
McGregor has done well as a coach in the youth structure and this is another feathe in his cap.
It's also good to see Mitchell get some game time, as he has not been seen since signing on transfer deadline day.
It should also benefit Megwa, who has been used sparingly and Johnson who hasn't featured at all.
