The player lists on this page are the selected teams published by the papers. Late inclusions, where known, have been noted. Often more than eleven players were named.

The fixtures for this Division don't appear to have been drawn up in the usual way. On some Saturdays three matches were played, but on others only two were played. Matches are listed here by Week rather than by Round.
