The Wooden Spoon yet again went to Chelmarsh D, whilst Shifnal B collected the Consolation Cup.
The Division's two most sporting teams as elected by team captains were Arley and Alveley C.

Lean Cooper, father to the late Graham Cooper, was on hand to present his Cup to winners Mick Brezwyn and Nick Carson and Derek Webb presented his trophy to Mike Brezwyn for the 'Highest Break' of the season, which was a magnificent 99.
