1. Thornton Hibs FC 2022/2023


Despite a run of nine consecutive league wins through March and April, the Hibs were to fall short of gaining one of the four promotion places available.

The highlight of the season was reaching the Alex Jack Cup Final in November. A late rally was not enough as Luncarty ran out 3-2 winners at Moorside Park, Dundonald.

Also of note was manager Craig Gilbert recording his 500th game in charge at Memorial Park.
