Julian has organised a five-a-side football match in Greendale. With two adults and three children in each team, it looks like being an evenly matched contest. And PC Selby is ready with his whistle to referee the game. But when it's time for the kick off, there's no sign of Pat. He's had a particularly busy day, with more than a few mishaps. Will he get all the post delivered in time to prove himself as man of the match?
