Background
The number of teams entering this year's competition decreased by one with the withdrawal of Streatham & Mitcham, back to the previous total of 13 but the same fixture format was retained.
There was once again a bye in the first round, and there was still a "blank" or "dummy" fixture. The bye in the second round remained.
