In this season's Central League, Youth Island achieved 13 wins, 9 draws and 12 losses, and ultimately ranked ninth in the standings, basically accomplishing the club's pre-season goal of "maintaining ten and competing for eight" in terms of performance. Considering the fact that Youth Island will only be transformed from an amateur team to a professional team in May 2020, it is not easy for them to achieve such a good result in this season, which is precious.

Next season, will the ambitious and down-to-earth Youth Island make a run at a Super League spot? Anything is possible!
