Colbridge: Division 8 review - The season in numbers
Season 22 proved to be a challenging campaign for Colbridge in Division 8. Finishing in 7th place with 30 points, the team experienced a mix of highs and lows throughout the season. They secured 9 wins, drew 3 matches, and suffered 10 defeats. The season's fun fact is that it was truly "A season of football with its own unique story," as every match contributed to a narrative of resilience and perseverance. Despite not finishing at the top, the squad showed moments of promise, but inconsistency ultimately defined their league journey.
