Lionhearts first ever league game

This season I am coaching the Lewisham Lionhearts under 14s team. This is the first time Lionhearts have had an under 14s team hence the 1st ever league game. I had 20 players there on Saturday, which if you have ever coached football presents a huge challenge. They only had 10 players so we loaned them 2 players and therefore everyone got on the pitch for at least a few minutes. We held our own for 3/4 of the game until we faded, both physically and mentally. I was very impressed by our players but the players will be more aware now of the need to train, both skills and fitness. As a coach it was demanding to negotiate so many player with all their own expectations. But it was still great fun, I love it. By the way the end result was 10-2. Please say it quickly and quietly!
