Table

Play-off

This championship was extremely competitive, in fact, it resulted in a draw as Standard AC and The White Rovers finished tied on 14 points, which meant that the title had to be decided in a playoff match that was held a few days later.[1]

Standard AC beat White Rovers 3–2, but the result of that game was canceled and the game had to be replayed. Despite the second chance, however, Rovers did not show up to play this game, and Standard was proclaimed champions of France.[1]
