Kestmon Villa: Division 8 review - The season in numbers
Kestmon Villa's Season 22 was a challenging campaign in Division 8, marked by significant defensive struggles that ultimately defined their league performance. With a goal difference of -41, it’s clear that the team faced difficulties at the back, conceding far more goals than they scored. Despite these setbacks, the club showed resilience by securing 6 wins and a single draw, though it was not enough to climb higher in the standings.
