Young striker David Paul scored twice to help Hibernian under-20s defeat Finn Harps 3-1 and reach the 2012 Foyle Cup Final.

Jay Doyle scored the other goal as the young team in green progressed through to the Final of the tournament staged in Northern Ireland where Hibernian will face Ballymena.

Head of Academy coaching James McDonaugh complimented his players on another sound collective team display.

McDonaugh said: "I thought we played very well; we passed the ball intelligently and scored one exceptional goal.

"We defended well and we were two goals ahead when they scored. Our response was then terrific was we went on the attack and scored again. We then kept the ball sensibly and closed the game out. The final tomorrow against Ballymena will be another tough test, but it is one we are very much looking forward to."
