Celebrities from the worlds of pop, soap and showbiz battled it out in Belfast yesterday in a 10-team football charity tournament.
Stars from Hollyoaks, Emmerdale and the Dream Team lined up against well-known faces such as model Calum Best, television presenter Jeff Blazier and The Royal Family's Ralf Little for Soccermagic at the Odyssey Arena.
And it wasn't just the boys showing off their dribbling and scoring skills. Pop babes Michelle Heaton, from Liberty X, Pop Idol's Kirsty Crawford and former Steps singer Lisa Scott Lee also took part in the charity event.
Some teams displayed more talent than others, although there were quite a few sore heads among the players, following a night of partying in The Fly.
Actor Liam O'Brien, who plays Emmerdale vicar Ethan Blake, wasn't too confident about his skills.
"I'm more of a rugby man myself and I don't really play football, but sure, it's all for fun, so I don't mind if I make a fool of myself," he said.
The winners were AC Daily Mirror, made up of Ralf Little and So Solid's Harvey, who also took part last year.
All proceeds from the event go to Cinemagic, a children's charity which provides young people with the chance to pursue careers in the film and television industry.
