Hibernian Under 21's League 29/12/03

A Hibs fan published a programme for the Hibernian U21's versus Celtic U21's SPU21'sL match at on the 29th of December. It is a nice effort considering it is the first of what is to be a regular issue for ALL Hibs U21's games (home/away). Two A4 pages, folded to make eight, it has full colour covers with black on a white sheet inside. There is a colour photograph of two Hibs players on the front and the teams are on the back page. Inside, page 1 has three adverts and there is a welcome message on page 2. The middle two pages give a report on Hibs U21's last game against Dunfermline and opposite is a very complimentary article on Celtic U21 team. The last two pages have the league tables, player statistics and the Hibs U21 fixture list. The fixture list shows that the young Celts will play Hibs again on March 22nd, so look out for the next Hibs/Celtic U21 issue. The programme was only sold at the Hibs end and in very small numbers.
