Assistant manager Mark Kirk said his side weren't clinical enough and admitted missed chances came back to haunt them as Accies saw a 1-0 lead turn into a 4-1 defeat. 

Laura Gallen fired the hosts ahead after only 8, but four second half goals from Hutchie sunk Hamilton leaving them still searching for a victory.

Kirk said despite seeing improvements in the side, they still have a way to go.

"We were very positive at the start with numerous chances, but at the end of the day we just weren't clinical enough.

"Credit to Hutchie they kept going and created their chances and managed to finish us, but it's disappointing.

"In the last three games we've failed to create any kind of chances, maybe one or two but there were positives that were there today in that we created them, now we just have to take them."

The hosts took an early lead, as brilliant work from Megan Quiggley brought the keeper out to the corner, but despite the keeper getting back it wasn't enough to stop Gallen's stinging strike from outside the area float past her.

Hamilton created a host of chances throughout

the first period, 15-year-old Quiggley sent her shot

behind goal after great linking from the forwards

before Jordan Daloisio blocked Amie McGill's free

kick towards the Hutchie goal.

With minutes to the break Daloisio found herself

one on one with the keeper and connecting with

the post leaving Hamilton settling for the slight

advantage.  

Hutchie brought the game back to level terms straight after the restart. Carse went one on one with Elaine Fleming who caught her low effort, but spilled to see it trickle into the back of the net.

The visitors took the lead around the hour mark, Carse's low cross was sent towards goal, but with both Lauren Leslie and Gallen racing to clear it off the line, it looked as though they turned it into their own net.

With just under 20 to go, the visitors took a third, Fleming coming out for a long ball, but Hutchie couldn't believe their luck as it went over the keeper and bounced in, before twelve later Rachel Walkingshaw snuck a fourth.

Captain for the day Deborah McLeod tried to reduce the deficit but her long range shot just inched past, as Hamilton keep looking for a win.
