Background
This season there were no junior/amateur clubs taking part, no "leavers" but one new entrant in the form of Scarborough Pirates and so the total of entries increased by one from last season, to a total of nineteen.
This in turn resulted in the necessity to continue with a preliminary round to reduce the number of clubs entering the first round to sixteen.
