The first season in Division 2B saw the Swifts make a disastrous start to the campaign when they lost their first seven league matches on the trot. A revival in mid season was followed by a poor finish to the season but enough points had been gained to retain their 2B status. Whilst accepting part of the blame for the situation, Archie Walls felt that an unsettled team in early season, doubts about the team’s ability combined with a lack of full fitness were other factors responsible for the situation.

As it was felt that the strength of the squad was insufficient, the Club took steps to improve the situation by applying for membership of the Amateur League for the 2nd.Xl, reforming the 3rd.XI and adopting St. Columbanus School pitch as the Home venue for the lst.XI.
