Head to Head

Pogo Potter has only one ambition - to become quarterback for the Rotherby Rockets, the local junior American football team. But when he is thrown out of the squad, unjustly accused of being a thief, and his Dad's fish and chip shop is threatened with takeover, it's time for a change of game plan. Pogo must use tactics which are not in the playbook to defeat the family's common enemy. A lively, funny, fast-moving play which is not just for sports fans.
