    Newcomers Westwood Girls made a good showing of themselves finishing with 13 points, scoring 9 goals, while conceding 19. Their record was 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
    Herbert Morrison is in filth spot on five points losing 7 of their 10 games. They have conceded 25 goals, while accounting for only six. In the meantime, Hopewell High ended with one point at the bottom of the table as they were withdrawn.
