Doran-Barr On Fitness & Cup Victory

Lauren Doran-Barr is "buzzing" with the perfect birthday present: to be through to next round of the Sky Sports Cup.

The speedy wing-back netted in sublime fashion to put the Hibees five-up on Queen's Park in our second round clash. 

Kathleen McGovern had already netted a hat-trick in between LDB's fine finish and Linzi Taylor's opener, before Eilidh Adams would later nab a brace to seal a commanding 7-0 win for the Hibees. 

"I'm just happy to get minutes in the legs," LDB told Hibs TV after the team booked their spot in the quarter-finals.

"I'm obviously happy to contribute to the team but most importantly we are through to the next round.

"A good team performance all round, so I'm happy."

Recovering from an injury has staggered Doran-Barr's return to action this season.

Four substitute appearances preceded starts from the off last weekend and at Ochilview, but now it appears LDB is getting back to full fitness.

"I think for me it's just about getting back up to speed and get that match sharpness. 

"Coming into the start of the season it's been tough carrying a bit of an injury.

"I was a little bit behind where the girls were but I'm feeling sharper every week.

"It's good to be back on the pitch and hopefully I can keep picking up more minutes."
