Background
The number of teams entering this year’s competition was increased by 2 from the previous season’s 12 to 14 with the introduction of two junior/amateur clubs Wigan Highfield (who would become members of the league in two years time), and Cumbrian team Askam. This enabled the competition to be run with only 2 byes in the first round.
