JURY CITATION
"An inspired choice of the subject of football provided an accessible and human way to consider such problems of our time as racism, immigration and homophobia. The brave transitions from broad comedy to sudden, shocking tragedy demonstrated strong and confident story-telling skills and the sound design was economical and witty. Each episode was full of satisfying development, warm and appealing human characters and the perfect length. The RADIO FICTION JURY was refreshed and surprised with Home Goal."
