Results
Relegation Playoff Due to Pembroke Athleta and Xghajra Tornados both finishing equal on points, a playoff was required to take place to determine who finished in tenth and eleventh positions and got the fourth and final relegation place. Pembroke saved their status with Brazilian forward Weverton Gomes scoring the only goal of the match, while Xghajra were relegated to the National Amateur League 2.
