The Ledger
Ecclen Town's Season 22 was marked by defensive struggles and a lack of overall consistency, resulting in a lower league position and a poor season rating. The team showed resilience in some areas but must address their defensive issues and improve goal conversion to climb the division table in the future. With targeted improvements, they can aim for a more competitive campaign next season.
