New Zealand Northern League 2025
⚽️ Auckland FC Reserves vs. East Coast Bays AFC ⚽️
Friday 18th April 2025
We were at a very windy Fred Taylor Park for the home game between the Auckland FC Reserves team and East Coast Bays AFC.
These are some of the highlights I recorded during the game including the Auckland FC Reserves goal by James Taylor.
We also show one of the goals by Guy-Frank Essome Penda for East Coast Bays (though as seen from the other end of the field). Neither of the teams had won a match this season before this game though East Coast Bays AFC was the team that took the three points after winning 2-1 as visitors.
Some of these young players MAY eventually make the main Auckland FC squad once they get more experience. It will be interesting to see what happens to these young players in the future. This is them BEFORE they become household names.
