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

How did this game go?

[Bishop Hibee]

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
