Sports journalist, podcaster and week-end player Max Rushden, hilariously ruminates on the frustrastions, disasters and joys of spending his weekends organising and playing amateur Sunday league football. From surviving apocalyptic microclimates, to trying to pull a team together every Friday via WhatsApp, to wondering where his best-player Hamish is, 5 minutes before kick-off - this funny and poignant film celebrates the importance of the beautiful game no matter what division it’s played in.
