'Training for the rep side is twice a week, no excuses and no exceptions. Davey, Sunil and Tay would go fourteen times a week, especially if it meant they could miss out on class with old Mr Mudge. The only problem is that rep training clashes with Max’s doggy school – Davey promised his mum he’d take his cheeky foxie to amend for eating all of 6M’s homework.

'How can Davey keep his promise to his mum to train Max and play for the South East Slammers? And how...' (Publication summary)
