The Match
Comedy. In the village of Inverdoune in the Scottish Highlands, Wullie finds himself involved in trying to help the regulars of Benny's Bar win a football match against the pretentious L'Bistro. If Benny's Bar loses it will be turned into a car park by the owner of L'Bistro. The problem is that Benny's Bar has lost every single match for the past 99 years.
