Results – 1997–1998

These are the final tables for the 1997–1998 season. Thanks to John Crawley for supplying the data.

Notes: Some teams in Divisions 4 and 5 played each other once only for double points. Newark 2 and Long Eaton Juniors withdrew from Divisions 4 and 5 respectively, each having played over half their fixtures; hence their results stand and the remaining matches were scored 5–0 to their opponents. Nomads 4 won Division 5 because 21 points from 14 matches is a higher percentage than Fiveways 4’s 22 points from 15 matches. It is unclear why teams in Division 5 played different numbers of matches.

Key: P = Played; W = Won; D = Drawn; L = Lost; F = Game points for; A = Game points against; Pt = Match points. The number of league points may not always be as expected due to the deduction of penalty points.
