Former Senegal striker Oumar Niasse, who scored 12 scores in sixty-five top-flight matches for Everton and still goes to their home games, also had his first appearance versus Collegiate OB - who are based in the city and use an Everton warm-up gear as their strip.

"A friend Stephen said 'come and play, it's enjoyable'," commented Niasse.

"After that he informed me we were playing a team from the city and the shock I had when I noticed them wearing Everton shirts - I say this is wrong for me!

"Our side held our own for a solid twenty mins but then we had a man dismissed and it was hard.

"We really have not ceased chatting about it - I was calling my mother and brother on the way home.

"They were all dead sound, shaking our hands after the match - it was like playing a group of normal fellas.

"Now we can't wait for the return fixture."
