Materwick's season was marred by defensive struggles, as indicated by the -31 goal difference.

The Ledger
Materwick's Season 22 was marked by defensive vulnerabilities and a lack of consistency, resulting in a lower league finish and a poor overall rating. The team demonstrated resilience but must address their defensive issues and aim for more offensive efficiency to improve future performances. With targeted improvements, there is potential to turn around the fortunes in upcoming seasons.
