 H.M.S. Tamar withdrew after playing 9 games (results annulled).

 Remaining fixtures: HKFC vs Kowloon, and HKFC vs South China.
 Totals: 108 played, 47 wins, 16 draws, 45 losses, 151 for, 151 against, 110pts... so
         one of the wins should be a loss.
 Remarkable that the 2nd and 3rd placed teams apparently had negative goal difference, 
   if the table is to be believed.
