Jack Davies, aged nine, representing the Tigers, and eight-year-old Alex Maund, from the Rhinos, are pictured showing off their kit to Latabe.
TWO budding football stars from Worcester tested their skills when they met Latabe the African elephant.
But the elephant, who is famed for her football exploits, met her match in the youngsters from Warndon Villages Football Club.
West Midland Safari Park is supporting the club by providing kit for two of the junior teams – the Rhinos (under-nines) and Tigers (under-11s).
Latabe’s skills were discovered last year when she started kicking a ball during playtime.
A spokesman for West Midland Safari Park said: “We are delighted to have been able to help the club and wish them a very successful season.”
