The following marks are the average sportsmanship marks for London Legal Clubs up to 16th January 2009, as marked by their opposition and match officials. We would expect to see all clubs with an average of 80 or above (very good).

All players are reminded that they are representing major City Law Firms or Institutions, and that any misconduct or poor behaviour reflects directly on those firms and institutions.

In addition, the AFA Penalty Points for each club for last season and this season (up to Christmas) so far are shown. As a rough guide a caution counts for one point, and sendings off count for 2-4 points depending on the severity (though higher totals are possible).
