An amateur team from Kennington lines up for a football match in a South African game reserve, with elephants and zebra looking on.

The match, on the Aquila game reserve outside Cape Town, was part of a Sony campaign linked to the 2010 World Cup.

The London team won their place by entering a video on Twitter. Player Connor Greely said: “The day before the match there was a family of hippos asleep on the pitch, but they moved away.” They beat their opponents, a South African team, 1-0
