Results – 1985–1986
These are the final tables for the 1985–1986 season. Thanks to Brian Hayward for supplying the data.
Note: The original bulletin states that Students I and Derby I shared the title following a decision by the League Management Committee. Does anyone know why there was no tie-break?
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.
