And after our final game of the calendar year, Reiss was full of praise for how his team has performed so far as we look to retain the North title.
“I’m proud and impressed of course in terms of the first half of the season,” began Reiss.
“With a lot of good performances and games where we were just able to win the games. So of course very proud and impressed in terms of the mentality.
“Very often we had a few games where we were down at half-time and we had to comeback. So this is proof of their mentality and this is at least what we need to be successful.”
