Difficult campaign - A season to learn from and improve
The 11th season for Greack Wanderers in Division 6 has been a challenging journey, marked by struggles at both ends of the pitch. Finishing 10th in League 17 with only 5 wins, 2 draws, and 15 losses, the team faced significant hurdles throughout the campaign. The fun fact of the season—a goal difference of -30—highlighted the defensive struggles that plagued the side, as they conceded 63 goals while managing just 33 in attack. This stark disparity underscores the need for a more solid defensive foundation if the Wanderers are to climb the standings in future seasons.
