TTA report

Out of the team injured since October, Ewing scored in the 1st minute with the Hibs defence half asleep. Smith missed a sitter before Fleming scored with a hooked shot from a Ewing cross (36). Hibs hit the post then scored with a header (56) and went on to find the equaliser 4 minutes from time. They hit the post again as the ref blew for time.
