Second team striker Gary Freear said: “It was a bit of a spur of the moment game but it was a lot of fun.
“It started off as a laugh but it quickly got more serious. There’s a little bit of a rivalry between us but it’s always played in good spirit.”
The league match, which was contested by the two sides earlier this month, finished 3-2 to the second team. The sides return to action on January 14.
