A Libby Smith hat-trick sealed a comfortable win for Hibernian over Montrose.

Smith's first of the afternoon set the tone as she put the home side one up after seven minutes. She then turned provider, Tiree Burchill this time with the finish.

Hibs and Smith were quick out the traps in the second half, with the striker grabbing her second and third goals in quick succession.

Joelle Murray's side were certainly in the mood and, after providing a couple of assists, Aoife Colvill headed in to put them five up.

Despite pulling one back through an own goal by Hibs defender Scarlett Herron, thing quickly deteriorated further for Montrose.

Chloe Glover was sent off for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity, then Jasmine McQuade's strike from the rebound sealed Hibs convincing win.

Hibs stay fourth on goal difference, while defeat for Montrose leaves them at the foot of the SWPL, and still looking for their first win.
