Contents

Following their initial two-year probationary periods of competition, the two country clubs (Clarence and New Norfolk) were retained in the league with assurances that they would not be excluded for at least a further two years, and under a modified conditions which included improved financial support – specifically, receiving for the first time a share of payments from common league profits – but still unequal conditions compared with the four city clubs.
