This position was one above the relegation zone, and ensured that Portstewart remained in the First Division for the following season. They were knocked out of the Irish Cup in the 3rd Round 4-2 at home to Banbridge Town, and reached the Quarter Finals of the Intermediate Cup before being knocked out 2-0 at home to Coagh Utd.

On a brighter note, the team won the Craig Memorial Cup with Andrzej Kleczkawski and Lee Rushe scoring the vital goals in a 2-1 win over Tobermore United with keeper Matt McGraw making a breathtaking save in the final minutes of the game.
