Results
[edit]This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no new entrants and no "leavers" and so the total of entries remained the same at sixteen.
This in turn resulted in no byes in the first round.[1][2][3][4]
Round 1
[edit]Round 1 involved 8 matches (with no byes) and 16 clubs.
