Plot summary
Lady Greyhounds lose their remaining striker due to pregnancy leave. With their first game coming up, the staff conducts open trials to find new strikers. During this, Henry begins his school sessions in London, befriending Phoebe in the process.
During a Richmond shareholders' meeting, the news surrounding the women's team is met with disinterest. Furthermore, Higgins' report detailing the bleak financial prospects of the club are published, upsetting many that they are not investing in getting Richmond to the UEFA Champions League. Keeley is disheartened at not being informed of this, but sets out to save the team from the report. Rebecca is also forced to recoup a sponsor that pulled out of the women's team, but discovers this is affecting her relationship with Matthijs.
The tryouts prove to be harder than expected, with nearly everyone being disqualified early. Beard believes Dani Rojas' sister, Maria, has the same skills as her brother, but they are forced to disqualify her after it is clear she does not know soccer. By the end of the day, only two women, Lizzie Davis and Shannon, remain but neither are strong enough to be strikers. Without any options, they recruit both of them, with Ted admiring Shannon's energy. Alice and Ted go to speak with her old teammate Gemma, who reveals that she left football because of how hard Alice was on her when they were teammates. But when Ted reveals that Gemma was the only name Alice suggested, Gemma reconsiders and decides to play for the team while remaining in law school.
Keeley struggles in keeping the women's team afloat, to the point that she is unable to get the uniforms. Roy then gets Phoebe to help her in making the uniforms with her friends, finishing them just in time for the first game. The game almost ends with no plays, but Alice gets Gemma to enter the game, and she scores the winning goal. Roy visits Keeley, giving her a new report to convince her not to give up on her plans. After failing to show up multiple times, Rebecca finally meets with Matthijs for a date.
