They were fourth in C grade with 56 and fourth in the D grade with 50. Their juniors finished second in the Juniors grade to Arden with 37 points.

Vale Impi scored 117 of their points in the C grade, just beating Ashfields in that grade who ended with 106 points. It was also Ashfields who finished second in the league according to size, with a total of 10.21 points per playing member, which they will be delighted with as it marks a huge improvement on last year where they scored just 3.14 points per playing member.
