Our final game of 2024 saw us triumph 4-1 over Stoke City to stay second in the Under-18 Premier League North.
Also having enjoyed success in the Under-18 Premier League Cup and FA Youth Cup, Reiss and his young boys in blue have a lot to relish in 2025 and the Lead Coach is excited about what’s to come.
MATCH REPORT | CITY 4-1 STOKE - UNDER-18 PREMIER LEAGUE NORTH
But the first challenge, he admitted, will be finding the balance of enjoying a brief Christmas break and being match-ready for our first game back in the new year.
“The players have to use the break also in terms of coming down a little bit, breathing a little bit and so on,” said Reiss.
“We need this of course but then it’s a very early start next year in the second weekend in January.
“So yes I think tough to start back good again after the break. We will only have a week and a half to get prepared for the first game.
“But that’s the challenge for us, to come back in the same shape that we finished this year.”
