Their goal tally of 25 contrasted with 34 goals conceded, resulting in a goal difference of -9. This season, often described as "a season of football with its own unique story," saw Hettley focus on establishing a foundation for future progress, even if the results didn't always reflect immediate success.

Despite the challenging league position, the season was marked by a collective effort from the squad, with several players contributing in multiple ways. The team’s journey was characterized by resilience and a desire to build a cohesive unit, setting the stage for growth in upcoming campaigns.
