Now that the staff have called off their ban on extra-curricular activities the second leg of the District football finals versus Brookdale is to be played. The team is understrength so Baxter holds trials to find some new additions to the squad. Andrew is chosen. SAG, led by Jessica, holds a protest in the school canteen about the school uniform. The participants protest by turning their blazers inside out. Tucker is sitting next to Benny and Doyle takes great delight in telling him he cannot sit at that table as it is the free meals table for so-called "scroungers" like Benny, while Tucker pays for his lunch. Doyle and Tucker fight until Miss Clarke breaks it up. She sides with Doyle and tells Tucker he must move. Tucker enlists the help of Jessica and SAG and they protest over free meals tables by standing on the tables and chanting "we want the Head!". Llewellyn arrives and agrees to scrap the practice. In future pupils can sit wherever there is a place. Baxter tells the football team that Brookdale cannot make the date of the second leg and that by the time they CAN make it all of the football pitches will be taken up. So instead Grange Hill will take them on at cricket! SAG appeal to the pupils to boycott sports events until uniform has been abolished and that they intend to get their support one way or another. They organise picket lines and intimidate members (of all school teams) into not playing. A couple of days before the cricket match the team are three players down. Tucker, Alan and Justin are drafted in to make up the numbers. SAG try to picket the team before they get on the coach but Baxter orgainses Gary Hargreaves and some other burly older pupils to keep SAG at bay while the team get on the coach. Brookdale win the toss and bat first and set a score of 68 for 2, a good total. Grange Hill go into bat. Andrew is out first ball. Alan is doing well when he gets a hand injury and is forced to retire. Tucker is last but one to bat and he and Benny strike up a decent partnership. Benny gets run out. Justin is the last man to bat and Grange Hill are still well short of the required total. Justin, despite being "useless" at sports, is an unlikely hero as he and Tucker form a suprisingly fruitful partnership. Near the end they need to score four runs from two balls to win (score 65 for 9) Justin hits a double to bring his total to 25. On the last ball Justin smacks the ball away for a four and he and Tucker are carried shoulder high by their jubilant team-mates!
