The film begins with a young girl with a teddy bear, waiting outside a bus as people file off it. Some of them smile at the camera.
A board outside the venue reads `Saddleworth Rangers R.L.F.C, Sat-U18 Championship, Sun New Hunslet, Kick Off-2.30 PM, Games sponsored by Leigh R.L.F.C'.
A man walks across a field and then behind him is the rugby team. The match referee brings the two team captains together and tosses a coin. The match begins.
At what appears to be half time, the players put on their jackets and have some orange quarters. The game resumes.
