When the King laughs at Essi and remarks that "PRINCESSES DON'T PLAY FOOTBALL" Essi finds inspiration from Cody G, an Arsenal Academy footballer with Type 1 Diabetes who refuses to accept the constraints that other people put on him because of his condition.

An inspiring tale that teaches young listeners that they decide who they can be, not the negative labels of others!

Coming off a defeat in the first game, the last thing Aniballers FC needed was an away day vs Viper Squad at Snake Pit stadium.

Can Essi overcome a snake bite and a 4-2 defeat?

Fortunately Essi gets help from former Premier League and Boxing legend Leon McKenzie who teaches Essi to 'put pain into purpose'

The first game of the Kingdom Cup season takes Aniballers FC to Pirate Ship Park to face the reigning champions North Sea FC.

The laziest and naughtiest team in the league, with an Octopus named Hands Alotso for a keeper, this will be a very difficult match for Essi and her team mates.

Will they win, what tricks will be in store?

The Aniballers have a problem - today is the registration deadline for Kingdom Cup but Essi only has 49 Skillzeez.

Whilst the target of 50 Skillzeez is a private goal, it is an important goal to Essi.

When faced with a big decision, to take the short cut or work hard to complete an important task, Essi gets encouragement from Ex Chelsea legend Micheal Duberry and leans that you can't give up on yourself if you want to raise your game!

The Aniballers practice pitch is a slimy mess and judging by the clues....something fishy is going on!!!

The Aniballers work as a team to build a clue board and work out that one team in particular have it in for them.

The team work out that one team more than any other has it in for them .

What should they do?

• Panic?
• Fight?
• Run away?

Essi says "Good" and finds a positive way to look at things!

Its Christmas Eve and the Aniballers have prepared well for the final football outing of the year, the Christmas Eve Cup.

But suddenly, disaster strikes, it won't stop snowing and the entire tournament is cancelled.

What should Essi and her team do?

Will disappointment ruin their day or does the magic of Christmas win out?
