I’m getting my guys to meet at the bottom shop for 1pm. If you need us to do anything just get in touch. Tried to PM you my number but don’t think it worked

The kind of pre match training which Shaun would have wholeheartedly approved Shep.

will post up some info in the morning but will be going ahead on sunday and will just cut short if weather is adverse, expect to be playing on grass near St Marys School which will be handy for the BS after ( or before )

**tricky** · 30-12-17, 14:16

wee run round the Links this morning and surface seemed ok..hope weather favourable overnight

basic format for tomorrow is as follows, meet up around 1345 at 7 a side pitch by St Mary's Primary School by the middle road in the Links, will have changing room access if needed but would be ideal if folk came in tracksuits etc for a quick change at side of pitch.

it will be a 3 or 4 team round robin depending on numbers on the day and will be either 7 or 8 a side, will finalise length of games tomorrow but probably around 15-20 mins per game with maximum of 3 games per team.

will be a collection bucket at side of pitch for players and spectators, will hand to Big G after

afterwards retire to the Bottom Shop

@shepdogg have cleared my PM box a bit if you want to send me your number or Big G has it

thanks

Robbie

Looking forward to it, hoping the weather isn’t completely horrific

Hi Robbie, sorry for the late call off but I’m not going to be able to make it through. Hope it goes well

**Stew the Hibee** · 31-12-17, 12:27

My wee brother can make it now too

**aggie** · 31-12-17, 12:34

I hope the young team go easy on us old-timers. In my pomp, I was a swashbuckling fullback, but I'm pretty sure I'll no be buckling any swashes the day...

Big thanks to tricky for organising this, and to everyone who showed up to play and spectate!

**aggie** · 31-12-17, 17:20

Just Back: the Bounce side remained undefeated with a draw and a win. I swashbuckled at times.

Great day, in memory of a great man.

RIP Shaun.

I am sure he won't want any fuss but I want to second that. No 1 Son reported back that it was a fitting way to pay respects to Shaun. Good work @tricky and all involved

**tricky** · 31-12-17, 22:05

Upwards of £350 raised for Shaun’s kids today, big thanks to everyone who came down. Bounce team unbeaten..

Let’s get a date in diary for 11s game soon, end of the season late May / early June prob be ideal.

**GORDONSMITH7** · 02-01-18, 22:35

A massive thanks to everyone, players and supporters who played and stood on the sidelines in constant rain and sub Arctic conditions. Total quality. Thank you on behalf of me , Mrs BIG G and Shaun's family.

There was more money raised than suggested by my good friend Tricky and I will match the total pound for pound for Sarcoma Uk . Sarcoma is a rare cancer and a bit of a Cinderella of this awful disease .

Could I also give a massive shout to my good friend and fellow St.Pat's member Hugh $#@!burn who has raised over 1000 quid for Sarcoma UK in Shaun's memory by cycling from his home in Sunderland to most of the Fitba Grounds in the Central Belt of Scotland and Newcastle/Sunderland and Carlisle. Anyone who travels every second week to see the Cabbage, and sometimes during the week is is not only Hibs Class, but just $#@!in class.

Also a shout out to to the Crazy Gang who did the 3 peaks in 24 hours. Several of whom were playing the other day.

Last but not least the FC Groningen St. Patrick's Branch Massive who have been immense.

**aggie** · 03-01-18, 11:20

I can still feel it in ma legs today! And, in a mad twist, the backs of my arms? Baffling. I am getting old

Cheers my good friend

Congrats to all involved in the fitba' matches, would loved to have joined you but think I will stick to the cycling.

I am busy planning the routes to the remaining 19 grounds I have left to visit, intending starting again in early April and hope to complete by September, all in the memory of Shaun.

Actually thinking of doing a few more English grounds once I have completed my Scottish quest.

All the best to you and your lovely family and hope to see you soon in the Hibs club.

Proud to be a Hibee and a member of St. Pats.
