Episode 3
Taking on his toughest challenge yet, Freddie Flintoff faces dwindling team numbers and the reality that one of his clubs might be beyond saving.
When just a handful of teenagers turn up to training in Manchester, Presley and the boys are forced to go on a recruitment drive in order to save their team, but sporting legend Freddie is facing a losing battle to fundraise the large sums of money needed to restore their club to its former glory. Meanwhile, in Blackpool, after the successful team building day, Freddie鈥檚 girls鈥� team finally play their first match against a prestigious girls' boarding school. Out of their comfort zone, some struggle to control their last-minute nerves. Keen to learn more about one of the girls, Freddie visits her supported living accommodation to try to understand the challenges she鈥檚 faced.
In Liverpool, only a few lads turn up to training, leaving Freddie to question their commitment before a second match. The Bootle boys, however, are determined to secure their first win as they face surprise opponents that make them question far more than their cricket abilities.
