Football all-stars put on show as east and west do battle
Some of the island’s brightest young football talent took to the pitch at the Flora Duffy National Stadium on Saturday as the western half of the island took on the east in a string of all-star games.
Six matches took place at Primary, Middle and Senior School levels for boys and girls as players from various establishments and clubs got the chance to play together, some for the first time.
