The Ledger
Chesburchulms' Season 22 was marked by defensive struggles and a lack of consistency, culminating in a 11th place finish. The team’s main strengths lie in their resilience to some extent, but their significant goal difference and limited points highlight the need for a more solid defensive foundation. Focusing on defensive organization and reducing goals conceded should be top priorities for future seasons.
