League: Top of the pops were the St Estève XIII Catalan or UTC with 53 points. Toulouse Olympique XIII were six points behind them, with the Limoux Grizzlies a further six points down with 41. SM Pia concluded the season with 40 points.
Finals: The first round knock out match was a closely fought affair, with Limoux prevailing 12-10 over AS Carcassonne. The next week Toulouse easily got past Limoux 46-18 while UTC defeated Pia 22-6. The final was held in Narbonne in front of 5,000 fans. It proved very on sided as UTC was far too good for Toulouse, winning 66-16.
Lord Derby Cup: For the quarter finals, Sales (division 3) defeated top side Villeneuve 24-10. The other matches I cannot find, can anyone help with that? In the semi finals, UTC defeated Toulouse 34-12 and Limoux overcame a surprise package in the form of Salses 86-20. The final was held at Carcassonne before 11,000 people, with UTC taking the silverware with a 31-12 victory at the expense of Lézignan. At half time, they lead by just 10-8.
Summary: UTC (St Estève XIII Catalan) won the treble this season, which gives then the maximum 60 points that my scoring system allocates. Toulouse (46) and Limoux (44) were the only other teams that came close. 18 points were not allocated due to my not being able to find three quarter final results in the Lord Derby Cup. I have asked around but amazingly this sort of information isn't readily available.
