An Undefeated Championship Run
Across the pool stages and knockout rounds, Reshad remained unbeaten, topping Pool A with an impressive record that highlighted both his attacking precision and defensive control.

Nothing epitomised this more than Reshad’s nail-biting victory against former GB athlete Will Hipwell.
Back-to-Back Champion
