Steve Edge (The Visit, Phoenix Nights) and Jennifer Hennessy (Drop Dead Gorgeous, Lilies) star in The Cup, a new comedy series written by Moray Hunter and Jack Docherty (Absolutely, The Creatives) based on the Canadian series The Tournament produced by Adjacent 2 Entertainment and created by Howard Busgang, Wendy Hopkins and Marty Putz which was set in the world of junior ice hockey.

Shot in a documentary style, The Cup follows Bolton based Ashburn United Football Club and their quest to win the North and Midlands Under 11's Cup in Birmingham. It rapidly becomes apparent that the real story is the selfish and obsessive behaviour of the kids' parents as they try to live their own dreams through their children.
