DIVISION II

Division II saw two whitewashings: Curramulka defeated Stansbury White at Stansbury, and Stansbury Blue defeated Warooka White at Warooka. Port Victoria became a force to be reckoned with, defeating Warooka Red. Edithburgh and Minlaton had good wins against Yorketown Blue and Red, respectively.

This is the first time in many years that Yorketown Red has been at the bottom of the table in Div. II, after a heady run of 21 successive years as premiers.
