Vic Crowe's Villa make it successive wins at the end of the season to record thirty two wins, six draws and eight defeats in 46 division three games. As a result, Villa achieve a record number of wins in a single league season - 32 - and a record points haul for the Third Division - 70. Vic Crowe’s Villa had simply stormed the division from November, winning 32 games and blitzing the 100 goals in a season barrier for the ninth time. Villa scored a total of 100 League and cup goals.
