Second Division Södra – the Southern group. Here 3 teams were clearly stronger than the rest, but not quite equal – one was still better than the rivals, losing only twice this season.
Norrby IF was the outsider – last and out with 11 points.
Markaryds IF was slightly better, yet, also an outsider: 13th with 15 points.
Helsingborgs IF was the third infortunate: 12th with 19 points and relegated.
BK Hacken was weak, but not in real danger of relegation: 11th with 22 points.
Myresjo IF – 10th with 23 points.
Karlstad BK ended 9th with 25 points, but looked like that had some troubles and their future in the league was uncertain. May be going down…
Karlskrona AIF – 8th with 25 points.
Trelleborgs FF – 7th with 25 points.
Landskrona BoIS – 6th with 25 points.
Kalmar AIK – 5th with 26 points.
Atvidabergs FF – 4th with 29 points, but curiously with negative goal-difference: -2.
GAIS – 3rd with 38 points. Much stronger than the rest of the league, but somewhat not a title contender.
Mjallby AIF – 2nd with 39 points. The best scorers in both groups of Second Division – 72 goals in 26 games, and finishing with best goal-difference also in both groups: +48. But it was not their year…
Vastra Frolunda lost only 2 games this season and eventually built a 3-points lead by the finish. 18 wins, 6 ties, 2 losses, 48-11 goal-difference, 42 points. Excellent defense, which probably gave them the edge over their opponents. In any case, they won promotion and returned to top flight.
