Championship Playoff [Jun 16, at ground Résidence Walferdange]
US Hollerich              w/o Sporting-Club Luxembourg  [Sporting dns]
  [Sporting-Club refused to play, apparently because of the rejection of their
   protest on their match in round 10 (in which they had fielded nine players
   only)]

NB: [iff] (No. 32, p. 15) claimed Sporting did not play because they believed
    to be champions on goal average but given that they had played off against
    Differdange in the previous season that makes no sense at all; there never
    was any question of using goal average as a tie-breaker (cf. the remarks
    after the match on Jan 28 in Division B)

NB: US Hollerich-Sporting-Club was awarded a win to Sporting without
    changing the goal records

Division B

Participants (3):
 F.C. "Jeunesse de la Frontière" Esch/Alzette   [admitted during the season]
 F.C. "Rapide" Neudorf                      [*] 
 F.C. "Young Boys" Diekirch                     

[*] in later seasons, their name was usually given as "Rapid"

[Jan 28]
Young Boys Diekirch       5-0 Rapide Neudorf            

NB: at this point Rapide and Young Boys were the only two clubs in the division,
    so a playoff at a neutral venue between the two for the title was announced
    on Jan 29; however, in February Jeunesse de la Frontière were also admitted

[Feb 11]
Jeunesse de la Frontière  1-2 Rapide Neudorf            
[Feb 18]
Jeunesse de la Frontière  2-3 Young Boys Diekirch       [annulled]

 3.Jeunesse de la Frontière (Esch/Alzette)       4   1  0  3   6- 8   2

NB: as no league competition was held in 1912/13, the promotion of Young Boys
    was not effective; at the start of the 1913/14 season, clubs were free to
    choose the division in which they wanted to play, but Young Boys sat out
    that season before entering Division 1 in 1914/15
