We recently welcomed Alex Makel onto the DonsAction Committee but he is also Vice-Captain of DonsAction FC. Alex has been kind enough to give us a season review of our amazing season. Enjoy.
DonsAction FC began the 2024/25 campaign with optimism and ended it as unbeaten league champions, racking up 18 wins, 2 draws, and zero defeats from their 20 league games. Scoring a staggering 95 goals while conceding just 31, DAFC combined attacking power with defensive strength in a very successful first season.
