Glasgow City, who secured the title midweek went ahead on 16 minutes after Clare Shine finished off a fine team move. Megan Foley added a second midway through the second half, before Colette Cavanagh pulled one back for the home side with seventeen minutes remaining.
However as Hibs were throwing everyone forward to try and get the equaliser, City capitalised on the break, with Jordan McLintock finishing past Jenna Fife in the Hibs net with two minutes left of normal time.
Commenting on the win, City Head Coach Scott Booth said, “It is great to maintain our 100% record in the league against tough opposition.
