Crod Albion: Division 8 review - The season in numbers
Crod Albion's Season 22 was a challenging chapter in the club's history, marked by a tough battle in Division 8. Finishing in 10th place out of the league's standings, the team struggled to find consistency throughout the campaign. The season's fun fact, "A season of football with its own unique story," rings true as Crod Albion faced numerous hurdles, including a defensive record that saw them concede 41 goals—more than twice their total goals scored. Despite these setbacks, the club demonstrated resilience, and the season offered plenty of lessons and moments to reflect upon.
