Description: Barely Athletic are part of a four-team five-a-side football league which Viv, their bullish head coach, is desperate to win. Or if they can't win, at least they should try not to lose. Chucked out of the Lesbian Rovers for being too bossy, she desperately tries to instil some competitive spirit into the boys. Problem is, Beardy Geoff is copping off with the opposition, Danny is nursing a painful secret, Luke only joined because he fancies Danny and Viv's brother-in-law Joe is trying to cope with his grief after losing his wife. Together, they might just be able to claw back up from the bottom of league.
