This was the first
Woodhouse Cup season after the First World War. Five club were able to
enter a team: Bradford, Huddersfield, Hull, Leeds and Sheffield.
In principle, the
competition was to be an all-play-all twice one, but Hull was given special
accommodation by arranging for them to play just one match with each opposing
team, these matches counting for double points and being played at midway
between the two teams localities. It appears the Huddersfield and Hull
were unable to make mutually satisfactory arrangements for their match, which
had been scheduled for 29/11/1919; how this match was scored in the final
league table is unclear, as the final league table is not fully know.
As ever, some adjudication results are missing as well as some full sets of
match details.
Leeds and
Sheffield tied for first place with 5 wins and 2 losses each. Leeds won
the play-off.
