Kathleen McGovern scored Hibs' third goal

SWPL champions Hibs got their title defence off to a flying start with a 5-1 victory over Aberdeen.

Rosie Livingstone scored twice in four minutes to put Hibs in control and Kathleen McGovern added to the hosts' tally before half-time.

Captain Siobhan Hunter's own goal made it 3-1 with half an hour to play but McGovern responded almost immediately with a strike at the other end.

Jessica Broadrick's own goal for the Dons on the 90th minute gave Hibs their fifth and rounded off a comfortable afternoon for the champions.
