Third Division – Girone B. Similarly to Girone A, a few teams had a chance to win, but eventually two teams pulled a bit ahead of the others.
Rimini – hopeless outsider. Last with 15 points and relegated.
Vis Pesaro – 17th with 26 points and relegated.
Frosinone – 16th with 30 points. Relegated.
The next 4 teams finished with the same points and again the rules worked their strange magic: the best two were decided on head-to-head records, but the other two went to relegation play-off. Monopoli won over Campobasso 4-1.
Campobasso after losing the play-off against Monopoli took 15th place with 31 points and was relegated.
After beating Campobasso in the play-off, Monopoli survived – 14th with 31 points.
Francavilla – 13th with 31 points. Having better head-to-head record, they escaped relegation without having to fret over play-off.
Ischia Isolaverde – 12th with 31 points. Having the best head-to-head record, they finished above the other teams with 31 points.
Salernitana – 11th with 32 points.
Catania – 10th with 34 points. In midtable, where was nothing to gain or lose, standard rule decided who is above or bellow: goal-difference. Catania had worse goal-difference than Giarre.
Giarre – 9th with 34 points. Ahead of Catania on better goal-difference.
Perugia – 8th with 36 points.
Casarano – 7th with 37 points.

Cagliari – 1st with 45 points after 16 wins, 13 ties, 5 losses. 37-21 goal-difference. Like Foggia, eager to climb back to Second Division and achieving it by winning this championship.
