With a 12โpoint cushion and only a handful of rounds remaining, Folkestone Invictaโs chance of lifting the trophy was effectively 100%. Retrospectively, their win probability stood at around 90% before the last few matches, while Aveley had an estimated 7% chance and Billericay Town about 3%. The chasing pack never managed to bridge the gap, and Folkestone sealed the title comfortably.

Defensively, Chatham Town conceded the fewest among the top seven (35 against), while Aveley netted 91 goals and Billericay Town 81.
