Ashord United's 11th season in the eighth division has been a challenging journey, marked by a modest win rate of just 13.6%. Finishing in 12th place out of the league's teams, the club faced a tough campaign with only 3 wins, 7 draws, and 12 losses. The team scored 24 goals but conceded 36, resulting in a goal difference of -12. Despite the struggles, this season served as a foundation for growth, with the club focusing on developing its core and building experience for the seasons ahead.
Interestingly, the squad's top contributors—Giuseppe Conte, Thiago Gomes, Willi Schneider, Antonio Castelli, and Jorge Alvez—did not record any goals or assists, highlighting the need for offensive reinforcement. This season's fun fact underscores the difficulty faced: a 13.6% win rate, reflecting a period of rebuilding and learning on the pitch.
