The suggestion of former players featuring in this match was discussed. The concensus was former players would only feature if required to achieve a squad of 21.
Each player who features is required to raise £50 minimum personal sponsorship (but more would be preferred) as it is a request of the legends team that we raise £1,000. The total raised would be split 50/50 with the former players association and Hibeernians own choice charity.
AOB:
