* Star led the league for most of the season, but a protest by Arniston Rangers for fielding an inelligible player resulted in the Star being deducted 4 points. Leith Ivanhoe would then be champions, but Arniston Rangers protested that they could have still reached the same points total as Leith Ivanhoe if they had been able to play all their games. A playoff was arranged with Arniston Rangers defeating Leith Ivanhoe 1-0 to become league champions.
