Quick Facts Structure, Teams ...

Background

This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no new entrants but one "leavers", Scarborough Pirates having folded after just one season and a large loss, and so the total of entries decreased by one from last season, to a total of eighteen.
This in turn resulted in the necessity to continue with a preliminary round to reduce the number of clubs entering the first round to sixteen.
