Hello everyone,
It's been an eventful first season in EFA, with heated battle for winning titles, achieving promotion, avoiding relegation, and trying to break into the top half of the table.
In this review, we'll look a bit deeper into all leagues of the EFA tier, and also hold our first EFA Awards votes. :)
Enjoy!

Premiership
-- Title Race --
Team Kolbotn eventually won be a clear margin, in what long looked to be one of the most exciting title races ever. NagsHead Rovers long looked like they would have a realistic chance of challenging, and also was top of the standings a lot during the season, but with Kolbotn winning 9 of their last 10 games, there was never any question in the end.

In a title race where none of the two top sides looked like they wanted to win the title, Pompey PFC clinched it in the end - thanks to Barwell Bears FC's end of season form, where they didn't win any of their last 7 league games.
