The 1st division of the SNCL has been won yet again by Crowwood A. This
season's results were obscured by the non-appearance of Castlehill and
Aberdeen for rounds 3 and 4 due to weather, and the subsequent best
efforts of the organisers to play as many matches as possible has meant
that it is unclear as to who Castlehill defaulted to in their missing
matches. It is hoped that this will be cleared up.
