Malta. Ranked 32nd. The smallest European league was increasing – going from 8 to 9 teams the next year, so one team was relegated and 2 promoted from Second Division. On the field – impressive dominance of a club not exactly known for great success.
Rabat Ajax and Naxxar Lions earned promotion from Second Division.
Mosta finished last in the top league with 9 points and was relegated. They lost a battle of 4 teams – Birkirkara ended 7th with 10 points and survived because of the league increase. Floriana was 6th also with 10 points, but with better goal-difference than Birkirkara. Hibernians finished 5th with 11 points.
Weak season for Valletta - 4th with 13 points.
Zurrieq got bronze medals with 18 points and Sliema Wanderers – silver with 19 points.
Hamrun Spartans repeated their success of the previous season: they won the title again with 22 points from 9 wins, 4 tiles and single loss. 21-5 goal-difference.
But they also won the Cup again, beating Floriana 4-2 at the final.
A second consecutive double – rare achievement of any club, making their record 6 titles and 2 Cups. Excellent!
