Results – 1996–1997
These are the final tables for the 1996–1997 season. Thanks to John Crawley and Neil Graham for supplying the data.
Notes: Some matches in Divisions 4 and 5 were played for double points. It is unclear why teams in Divisions 4 and 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.
