Hibernian FC

Abbie Ferguson is "really happy" with Hibs' strong all-round team performance during Sunday's victory over Partick Thistle.

Thw winger netted early on for the Hibees at Lochburn Park before Tegan Bowie doubled the side's lead in the second half.

Emma Lawton's strike made for a tense end to the season opener, but Grant Scott's side held on to secure all three points.

"It was a great feeling," Ferguson told Hibs TV after the match. "To score early on was vital."

"In these games, a lot time we are on top and we don't score quick enough. I thought everybody done great to get the finish in. 

"I had a feeling I was going to score today, so I'm happy."

Thistle chased an equaliser with vigour in the closing stages, throwing bodies forward at every opportunity.

"It was hard," the winger said.

"We were under pressure at the end. But we saw it out.

"That's down to absolutely everybody. I'm really happy."

Ferguson added that the team's pre-season trip to Alicante, Spain, was beneficial to their ability to see out the game.

"It has paid off. In those last moments, I felt that we were fit.

"Everyone was really at it. It [the training camp] was hard work but it definitely paid off."
