The RAF FA hosted the touring New Zealand Defence Force team in a special double-header at St. Georges Park.

Prior to the fixtures, representatives from both squads were joined by Brian Adshead of the FA National Game Board and Staffordshire FA at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas to lay wreaths at the 'Football Remembers' memorial.

This was followed by two matches on the indoor 3G pitch. 

The first match saw the RAF FA ladies representative team beat the Kiwis 8-0 with goals from Cpl Impey (3), SAC Welsh (2) and SAC Symons (2). The player of the match award went to SAC Steph Lee.

Meanwhile in the second game, the RAF FA men’s Icarus team secured a comfortable victory over their New Zealand counterparts. 

Both contests were well fought with poignant silences held prior to each fixture.
