Collingwood took on the grade five and six students of Christian College Highton and St Marys Primary Schools in the annual 2014 Westpac Cup at Olympic Park on Thursday.

The Magpies, despite having players such as Macaffer, Grundy, Adams, Young and Sinclair at their disposal, were unable to keep up with the skills and energy of their younger opponents.

After the match, the students enjoyed lunch and a tour of the Westpac Centre, and were able to spend more time with their Collingwood heroes.
