The Ostholsteiner will continue on January 2nd
The start of the new year will be crucial. “In January we have three weekends with two games each. That will show where the journey is headed, ”says Pohl. That’s why the Ostholsteiners continue without a break, but the coach wants to “reduce the intensity a bit, increase the fun factor – and maybe even have a pizza delivered to the cabin” – to prepare for the next game against them until after Christmas Jade Sharks from Sands (January 2nd, 7pm / ETC) begins …
