Results – 1977–1978

These are the final tables for the 1977–1978 season. Thanks to Brian Hayward for supplying the data.

Note: There is something odd about the numbering of the Sutton teams: IV and V are missing. Seems unlikely that a club would withdraw two teams. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Awaiting processing: End of Season Bulletin (source: Andrew Walker), containing games and county match reports.

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.
