Merrick Watts' White Team have taken the honours in a close Redkite Celebrity game on Saturday night at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

The White team's accuracy in front of goal was the difference in the match, as they defeated Adam Spencer's Red team 2.1 (13) to 1.4 (10).

The Red team lead early, dominating possession and keeping the ball in their forward 50, yet they failed to convert many of their chances.  Scott Dooley of Triple J finally found the goal, and the Red team led 1.1. (7) to 0.0 (0) at the four-minute mark.

The White team sprung into action in the second half, and goals to actor Joel Edgerton and Anthony Peridis from Channel 7 gave them the edge they needed take the game.

The annual Redkite Celebrity match aims to raise money for Redkite, which supports Australian children and their families through cancer by providing emotional guidance, financial relief and educational services. Click here to learn more.
