Having been spared relegation the Club continued in B Section but continued to struggle. After 9 games both the Firsts and Reserves were on the bottom of their ladders, having won just two, and lost seven. The Firsts could not manage another win for the year and finished last with 2 wins and 16 losses. The Reserves managed another two wins, and finished 9th 4 – 14.
Our desperate attempts to cling on in B Section had finally failed, and we were relegated to C Section.
