During Round 1 of the OFC Pro League, Ange and I were at both Eden Park and North Harbour Stadium on three days for all three Auckland FC matches. Of course we were also there for the other matches played on the same day.
Here are photos we took of some of the players after the matches at North Harbour Stadium:
Liam Gillion (Auckland FC) with brother Fergus Gillion (Bula FC). Despite it absolutely pouring down with rain after the match, the Gillion brothers both hung around to sign things and get their photo taken.
