Easton Cowboys have been crowned as runners-up in the First Division but only on goal difference from two other teams.

Second Division runners-up Sporting Greyhound scraped a 1-0 win over Clifton Rockets to end a fine season on a promotion note. Tebby celebrated promotion back to the Second Division with an emphatic 7-0 drubbing of Blackboy Inn but is events turned out, they were already promoted as challengers Torpedo Res. lost 2-1 at Beachcroft LLP. Easton Cowboys Res. saved themselves from relegation on the final day, winning their last match of the season 4-1 against their rivals for the drop, Sneyd Park ‘A’, who now finish in the bottom two places.
