Listen "The First Champions"
Episode Synopsis
In WWI, men in Britain went to war and women went to work. And just as working men had taken to football, working women now took to the beautiful game. Thousands of women’s teams were formed in England. And eventually, a championship tournament was created, the Munitionettes’ Cup.
Women’s football became the national past-time. The women are super stars!
But then, sexism steps in and ruins the party. Until Rugby saves the day?
