Statement Gerry Fleming
“I found that the 1: 4 deficit was too high after the first third. The disc then jumped unhappily in the first part of the game, but the boys were over. Our distances were good today. In the third third we simply kept the game, just like that. We moved the disc more faster than usual today. The bottom line was that we also did a lot of things right today. Linden got something in a non -punished stick, let’s see how he’s doing tomorrow. “
