Notable results
The league table for the season is incomplete and only a handful of results are known. However, there are a number of results which are notable due to their high scores, both involving very heavy defeats for the Royal Institute of Health and Sciences team:
Note: RIHS only fielded 9 players.
In the game between Transport United and RIHS FC, Passang Tshering scored seventeen goals. Sources indicate that the most goals scored by a single player in a game is 16, scored by Panagiotis Pontikos of Olympos Xylofagou against SEK Ayios Athanasios in May 2007 and by Stephane Stanis for RC Strasbourg in the 1940s.[4] It would appear therefore, that Pontikos, having equalled a record that had stood for over 60 years, saw it broken only a few days later.
The top two teams from the B-Division and the bottom two from the A-Division competed in a round robin group to determine the remaining two spots for the 2008 A-Division.
