The Heart of Midlothian Education and Community Trust would like to say a huge thanks to Spartans FC who helped in its battle to clear the overgrown Northern Distillery community pitch at the back of the Wheatfield Stand.

The Spartans volunteers, young Hibees and Jambos alike, who worked shoulder to shoulder are (from left to right): Brandon Hume, Liam McDermid, Jack Moran, Ryan Lynch (yellow top), Ryan Kerr and Naomi Hume.

Spartans community programme manager Kenny Cameron is pictured hiding at the back!

Head of CSR at the Trust Tam Hendry said: "The kids were a huge help and worked much harder than I expected, filling almost 100 black bin liners full of grass cuttings and carrying them all off the pitch.

"We can't thank them enough for doing such a great job."
