The Hibs went to town on Saturday as they made it two out of two and they had the added bonus of making it two clean sheets too.

Dale Robertson netted his first goal for the club in the 5th minute and even if he goes on to score a good few more this season, he'll have to go some to beat the quality of this one that fairly fizzed beyond Darren Brown from some distance.

An own goal from Harp captain, Mark Kelly, made it two in the 29th minute and the visitors' day got even worse when they were reduced to ten men after Connor McLeod was red-carded.

Just before half-time, it was Ewan Henderson's turn to break his goal-scoring duck when he rose to head home Ian Shanks' cross.

Early in the second-half, Garry Thomson snr cleverly headed the fourth and the fifth came from Coco Mullen in the 79th minute who had re-signed for the club earlier in the day.

The scoring was completed in the last minute when Ian Gallacher accidentally knocked Matthew Robertson's cross into the net for another own goal.
