Plot:

Darren Walker and his friend Pete were part of a five-a-side football team, and hoped to enter the championship. Their team was a bit of a joke and they had never won any trophies. When they see a mystery kid with great skills, they want him to join the team. They are surprised to find that “he” is actually a “she”.  They invite the girl, Jo to join the team but they must keep her identity secret as they know that the coach, Mike doesn’t like girls in the sports club.

Plot

There were two football teams in the town of Bayford — the snooty Apollo and the Rovers. Live-wire Roberta Page, whose three brothers played for the Rovers, was hoping that the Rovers would win the Brent Cup. She felt sure this would cheer up their injured organiser and trainer, John ‘Fallon, who was in hospital.
