A new coach is causing trouble for the team as Paul Stewart continues the action in the third of this four-part football series.
Danny, Scott, Jack and the rest of the Dale team are gearing up for a hat-trick in their last ever town cup competition. But the boys have moved to senior school and Danny’s having a rough time. Their new coach is a hard, harsh man who has disliked Danny from day one. His taunting and teasing has knocked Danny’s confidence and now the coach is threatening to boot him off the team. But why has he got it in for Danny? And can Danny do something about it before his hat-trick dream goes up in smoke?
