Notes

  1. ↑ The division would be renamed South West 1 East for the next season and along with the whole national restructure of the league system by the RFU lead to mass changes at all levels.
  2. ↑ After extra time the game was tied with each sides having 2 tries each. As a result Avonmouth Old Boys were awarded the victory by virtue of being the away side.[41]
