Background

The number of teams entering this year’s competition was increased by one with the addition of Streatham & Mitcham. This brought the number up to 14 and the same fixture format was retained. There was now no need for a bye in the first round, but there was still a "blank" or "dummy" fixture. The bye in the second round remained.
