Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona is experiencing a difficult period after suffering their sixth consecutive defeat, this time against Bnei Sakhnin. Club officials expressed disappointment and anger, acknowledging that the team's point accumulation this season is significantly below expectations and warrants criticism. "There are no excuses, and we won't look for any. When we lose, we need to take responsibility and work harder to win and get out of this period," stated club sources. The team is currently at the bottom of the league standings, only avoiding last place due to a points deduction for Tiberias. Despite the grim situation, the club insists on maintaining perspective early in the season and remains confident that Kiryat Shmona will not be relegated. Key players like Adrian Ugrinic, Kristian Martic, and Yair Mordechai departed in the summer, but the team expects better performance from the current squad at least until January, when roster changes will be considered. Owner Izzy Sheratzky is expected to continue supporting the professional staff, believing that Kiryat Shmona, under coach שי ברדה, can overcome the current crisis. The coach himself did not hide his disappointment after the match and reprimanded the players during halftime for their attitude. In their next fixture, Kiryat Shmona will travel to Teddy Stadium for a challenging away game against Beitar Jerusalem, where they will aim to break their losing streak.
