Bead Park's 11th season in the eighth division was a clear indication of a team in transition. Finishing 8th out of the league's teams, the club faced significant challenges, particularly on the defensive end. With a goal difference of -46—the worst in the league—the season was marred by defensive struggles that hampered their ability to compete consistently. Despite these setbacks, the season provided valuable lessons and a foundation upon which to build for the future.
Interestingly, the team’s top players—Willi Schneider, Jorge Gonzalez, Jorge Alvez, Michel Lemoine, and Giuseppe Conte—contributed in multiple ways, even if they didn't register goals or assists this season. Their collective effort highlights a team focused on collective growth rather than individual accolades, setting the stage for future development.

The most glaring issue this season was the defensive frailty, as evidenced by the goal difference of -46. Improving defensive organization, reducing individual errors, and fostering a more cohesive backline will be crucial.
