Mixed fortunes - Ups and downs in an unpredictable season
Ley Wort Stanley's 11th season in the sixth division has been a rollercoaster of emotions, marked by moments of promise and periods of inconsistency. Finishing in 6th place with a balanced record of 9 wins, 8 draws, and 5 losses, the team demonstrated resilience and the ability to compete at a solid level. An interesting fun fact from this campaign is their positive goal difference of +9, meaning they scored more goals than they conceded, which is often a sign of a well-organized side capable of both attacking and defensive stability.
