Third team (Division 4) 2004–05 season
Summary | Players | Fixtures | League table | Match details | Results
Summary
On paper, the third team should have been a strong candidate to go up, but instead ended up oscillating between the fringe of the promotion race and worrying about relegation. The big problem was that two key players spent the whole season out of form – a weakness that the rest of the squad couldn’t quite compensate for. In the end, one more win would have been enough to go up, but won more loss would have meant going down.
