In this episode, Freya and special guest Danny delve into the details of the opening weekends in the FA Women's National League (Tiers 3 and 4 of the English football pyramid) and the top two divisions in Scotland (SWPL and SWPL2) covering a staggering 46 games.
The duo discuss standout player performances, introduce viewers to the 'ding-dong' of the weekend and highlight the newly promoted clubs in the leagues and how they fared on Matchday 1. Freya and Danny also discuss the different dynamics between the leagues and most importantly discuss the crucial role of grassroots football in the women's game.
Freya and Danny highlight the importance of going out to support your local club and praise the resilience of players in the face of online trolling which is unfortunately now more common as the women's game is growing.
The pair finish by checking in on the NWSL and Danny's adopted team KC Current (currently top of the league) and discuss who could be fighting for the championship title this season.

In our first ever 'Meet the Manager Special", Freya sits down with Lincoln United Women's First Team Manager, Ricky Pledger, to talk all things "Whites" as they enter the fourth tier of women's football for the first time.
Ricky discusses his coaching experience in football so far and what lead him to recently take on this role. We also discuss the impact of preseason and the recent frustrating defeat to Notts County in their opening game. Additionally, Ricky's talked about his personal experience of the changes within the women's game over the past few years, his hopes and expectations for the season ahead and of course the importance of having a growing number fans in the stands to cheer the team on.
P.S. Listen until the end to hear which team and stadium Ricky would love to experience playing against too!
P.P.S. Freya realised she said "Dance of the Knights" rather than "March of the Knights" by Prokofiev for the Sunderland AFC walkout music... typical.
