| 20 | 0 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Forfeit | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Automatic 20-0 win awarded against the forfeiter, per competition rules. This was an unusual one. The first round game between Merthyr and Wattles was never played because Merthyr were late joining the competition. In late June, it was suggested that this game could be played for ‘double points’ (i.e. the winner would receive four competition points). While it’s not clear if the game was to have been played for double points, ultimately it didn’t matter. Wattles forfeited and reporting in late July indicated they were deemed to have forfeited two games and four competition points to Merthyr. | |||||||||||||||||||||
