0:18:00 > 0:18:05- Unfortunately, - no-one was available as a coach...
0:18:05 > 0:18:11- ..so the only way forward - was for me to do it!
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- I was like a fish out of water - with no background in the sport.
0:18:16 > 0:18:23- I do enjoy keeping fit but have - no idea about football and rugby.

0:19:57 > 0:20:02- What do the kids think of their - mother as a football coach?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- At the moment, they're only six, - and are reasonably happy.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Whether it's the same when - they're 13, that's another matter.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- By then, I hope I will have - learnt a bit more.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18- We had games on Saturday and I - realised I'd used the wrong rules.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- I learn something every week, - and we're three weeks in.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- I learn something new - every Monday night...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- ..and I learn a new rule - every Saturday.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- I hope that when they're older, - they will be confident...

0:20:47 > 0:20:53- Go for it and set up your own team, - even if it's Cowbridge No.3!
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- It's a lot more work than I - ever thought it would be.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04- The feeling of contributing and - being responsible for the kids...
0:21:04 > 0:21:10- ..is very different - to what I do in my day job.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16- It's just an extra thing to do - on Monday nights.
