Reilly On Hibs Half-Century & 'Dominant' Win
Kirsten Reilly was 'delighted' by her side's 'dominant' performance over Spartans as she reached a half-century of appearances for the Club.
Reilly, a childhood Hibernian fan, effortlessly dictated play throughout the 90 minutes at Ainslie Park as Hibs secured all three points with a 4-0 victory.
The Musselburgh-born midfielder was equally as thrilled with her side's display as she was with her own personal landmark.
"I’m delighted with the win for the team," Reilly told Hibs TV. "I feel we dominated the game.
"To play 50 times for the club I support is great. I really enjoyed it.
"I think we dominated all over the pitch from front to back. It was an enjoyable game.
"We were popping it around and letting the ball do the work. But we got goals in the end which is what we came for. And a clean sheet too. I’m just delighted."
Reilly played through injury for the good of the team last month before spending a four weeks on the sidelines - missing three games in the process.
But now, after gaining match sharpness off the bench versus Montrose, Kirsten is ready to kick on as she works her way back to full fitness.
"I’m not the type to sit out through injury but I’m feeling good now that I am back.
"It was good to get a full 90 minutes in the legs."
Looking ahead, Reilly will hope to be at her fittest for the arrival of Rangers to Meadowbank on Sunday (20 October).
"It’ll be a different type of game," said Reilly.
"It will be really hard. But it’s one we are looking forward to.
"We will prepare this week to go into it and try to get three points."
