Notes

1. Would merge with St Mary's Hospital in 1997 to form Imperial Medicals Rugby Club.
2. Old Reedonians would later be renamed Reeds Weybridge RFC.[1]
3. The restructuring of Surrey 2 into a single division for the following season meant that five teams were relegated from Surrey 2A including Chobham, Farnham, Kingston, Old Freemans and Old Reedonians.
4. The restructuring of Surrey 2 into a single division for the following season meant that six teams were relegated from Surrey 2B including Old Epsomians, Old Suttonians, King's College Hospital, Chipstead, Shirley Wanderers and Old Pelhamians.
5. The restructuring of the Surrey leagues meant that 3rd and 4th place Weybridge Vandals and Cobham were also promoted.
6. The restructuring of the Surrey leagues meant that there was no relegation.
7. Champions Harrodians would be renamed as Barnes RFC for the following season.
8. Relegated Charing Cross & Westminster Hospitals would drop out of the Surrey leagues.
9. 3rd place Farnham were also promoted.
10. No relegation due to league restructuring for the following season as Surrey 4 abolished and extra teams added to Surrey 2 (and other divisions) as a result.
11. Woking dropped out of the league at the end of the season.
12. Neither Croydon nor runners up Chipstead promoted as Surrey 4 was reinstated for the next season leading to restructuring to all divisions.
13. Teddington 2nd XV, Merton, Lightwater, Old Abingdonians, Guildfordians, London Fire Brigade, Worth Old Boys, Wandsworthians, Reigate, Old Walcountians and Raynes Park were the relegated teams this year. The reason for so many relegation's was due to reinstatement of Surrey 4 for the 2005-06 season with teams from Surrey 3 dropping to the new division and the relegated Surrey 2 teams replacing them.
14. One of Harrodians titles was for Surrey 2A.
15. One of Purley John Fisher's titles was won by founder club John Fisher Old Boys RFC and was for Surrey 2B.
16. Effingham's title was for Surrey 2A.
17. Merton's title was for Surrey 2B.
