Shortly after the Relegation play-offs, as Hapoel Netanya appealed the fielding of Hapoel Afula playerZvi Singel, and the three matches which were played by Hapoel Afula were given as awalkover win to the opposition, as the disciplinary tribunal determined that Singel was registered withHapoel Beit HaShita and was not properly transferred to Hapoel Afula.[1] Hapoel Afula appealed the decision, but the appeal was denied[2] and, as a result, Hapoel Afula were relegated toLiga Bet andHapoel Netanya took their place inLiga Alef
