Ampton Albion’s Season 22 was a campaign marked by resilience and a fair share of challenges. Finishing in 7th place in Division 8, the club accumulated 30 points from 10 wins and 12 losses, with no draws recorded. The team scored a total of 57 goals, showcasing a prolific attacking effort, yet struggled defensively, conceding 75 goals and ending with a goal difference of -18. An interesting fun fact from this season is that Ampton Albion scored 57 goals, highlighting their offensive capabilities despite the overall mixed results.
This season’s performance reflects a team that can find the back of the net but needs to tighten up at the back to climb higher in the standings. The absence of draws suggests a season of decisive results, whether wins or losses, and indicates potential inconsistency in securing points from close matches.
