Notes:
  1. The matches of Hapoel Or Yeuhda against Maccabi Jaffa and Hapoel Ihud Tzeirei Jaffa were set as 0–0 without points given.
  2. As Hapoel Or Yehuda folded at the beginning of the season, all of its matches, except for the matches against Maccabi Jaffa and Hapoel Ihud Tzeirei Jaffa (who, at the time, were themselves excluded of the league, before sorting their financial problems), were registered as a 0–2 forfeit.
