The Edinburgh Area Section of the East of Scotland League as it stood after the first round of matches had been completed, as near as can be determined. The top four sides then formed an eight team league with the top four sides in the Borders Section. Spartans were included in the top four teams, so they must heve overtaken Edinburgh City Police in their remaining two matches.
