It would seem that Bellshill and DnA have a disklike of playing each other as they both defaulted their away matches against each other. With the reduction in teams in the league, this is likely to be the last division 5 for some time and so controller Pat McConnell in a fit of unparalleled generosity has decided not to deduct any default points.
