They came in separate teams, and they all took some penalties and scored! Coming off the bench are seven, count them, SEVEN new performers to Headgate Theatre Productions!
Head coach Paul T. Davies was amazed at the number of people who turned up, and making the selection was a thoughtful process. But the team are now ready to enter the stadium, and make sure you support them and wave your flags with pride!
