Hibs’ fan Hugh Cockburn has completed another leg of his quest to visit all the football league clubs in Scotland in memory of fellow St Patrick’s Branch member Shaun McKinley who sadly passed away after a brave fight with cancer on 31 Dec 2016.
Hugh even had time to pop into an English one during the journey.
Last week he cycled from his home in Sunderland to Carlisle where he based himself overnight after visiting the home of Carlisle United where he was kindly shown round and making a ‘short’ diversion to Gretna.
The following day he visited Palmerston Park, home of Queen of the South and Gala Bank, home of Annan Athletic.
Stadiums visited 23 – Stadiums left 19.
The cycle is a sponsored event in aid of cancer, so if you can, please give any contribution by visiting the St Patrick’s Branch donation page and mark your donation Hugh’s Shaun McKinley cancer appeal.
Donations can also be made on Shaun’s Just Giving page.
