The Ledger
Strehield's season was characterized by a foundational approach, emphasizing collective effort and squad development. The team showed resilience and a willingness to contribute in multiple roles, setting the stage for future growth.

Focusing on defensive organization and attacking efficiency will be key to transforming this foundation into tangible progress in the next season.
