Players from the north and south of Auckland came together for a friendly match at Albany’s Pinehurst School that turned into a goalfest.
The match between two Ricki Herbert Football Academy talent centres ended in a 9-3 win for the players from Albany over the youngsters from Papatoetoe.
Academy coach Sam Negash said: “Albany played against a young Papatoetoe team and it was a very good game to watch from the sidelines. It was also good to see many parents coming along to watch.”
The next inter-academy match will be played between Papatoetoe and Beachlands/Maraetai.
