Leith Athletic FC vs Hibs Legends (19.05.17)

A charity match in memory of the late Shaun Woodburn will take place at Leith Links on Friday night, kicking off at 6:45pm involving a Leith Athletic FC Select vs Hibernian Legends.

The event will see 16 of Shaun’s former Leith Athletic teammates take on an array of Easter Road stars, with Anthony Stokes, Kevin Thomson and Mickey Weir among those joining in.

Brilliant

Looking forward to it.

Chaplins playing Hibs and Leith songs from 6pm .

Sounds like it'll be a great night in memory of a great man. Enjoy everyone & raise plenty cash.

Think i will bring my kids down for it. Sounds like it will be a great night and it will raise lots if cash.

Apologies as I don't have Facebook but where exaclty is this? Is it down near the old Leith Academy? Is there a fee being charged for admission or is it a donation? Had a work night out but planning on going to this instead.

Thanks :thumbsup:

Bump.


Calling all leith links locals..

How did this game go?

It was 3-1 for Leith Athletic about half way through the second half. I left due to hypothermia setting in. Good event well attended which must have raised a few quid for the Street Soccer charity. Stokes was in attendance taking pens in jeans and Hibs top while Danny Swanson took pens for Leith Athletic.

Ended up 4-2 to leith with hibs missing a penalty but raised over 1.500
