The Zilveren Toren cup, the club competition of the greater Antwerp region, was as usual held in four classes. From the results of these four classes, the combined standings were derived, but I don’t know how and therefore quote the standings immediately as I found them. It does seem that, for this combined standings, only clubs with teams in at least three divisions were retained.

For the first division, [1] gives complete detailed results and final standings. The individual results below only take into account these first division matches. They do not include forfeits. Note that the individual results from [1] contain an error in the SK Merksem — Arbeiders SK match. As a consequence, the individual results below don’t fully match the crosstable. I only found a few games in [1] and [2].
