Reds’ Boss Chris Hamilton was very happy with his side’s performance on Sunday...
“I thought we were excellent from start to finish. It was probably one of our most complete performances.” “To add in the fact we had four key players missing, it makes it an even better performance and result.” “The players really stepped up yesterday. Some of the football was a joy to watch.”
