I took my U14s to play the top of the league team on so day.
We we’re without our goalkeeper and three others players, so down to the bare minimum.
We were absolutely awesome. No MotM, of Girl of the match… as we have two playing for us. Every player played their part. We were 1-0 up and they had their first shot just before half time… which went in to make it 1-1.
At half time I let our team listen to them jumping up and down full of enthusiasm as they thought we would roll over in the second half.
We played the second half exactly as we played the first half. Every plate doing their part. Ten minutes before the end out striker Freddie got on the end of corner, just beating my own son Aaron to the ball to make it 2-1.
we not only held on to the lead, but very nearly got a third.
The team was bouncing at the end. It felt amazing. I love football again.
Most amazing sport in the whole world.
A team of 13 players came together and battled till the end.
