2	Another season with just 20 players used as Tommy Law keeps true to his principle of selecting his best men but feeding in the reserve player of the same position should a first teamer be unavailable. No league championship this time but a cup trip to the mighty Bishop Auckland in front of 7,100 and a senior cup win over Barnet before another large crowd at Clarence Park, St Albans. There are just four new players with goalkeeper Don Prior starting on his Ware career. On the other hand Topper Clark plays his last season. Finally Horst Breiting completes 125 consecutive appearances in the league game at home to Tufnell Park Edmonton.
