Surinam 1947-50

S.V.B. Competitie

The league started on Nov 9, 1947, and lasted for over 2 years due to a great influx of new
clubs (including former N.G.V.B. members such as N.A.K.S. and Spes Patriae; however, it would
appear a number of clubs (including Mata Hari and N.A.K.S.) later returned to the N.G.V.B.)
and interruptions caused by trips and visiting sides (e.g. Trinidad in March 1948 and Brazilian
club side Tuna in September 1949).

Participants to finish the league included:

Hollandia
M.V.V.
Paranam
P.V.V.
Robinhood
Spes Patriae
Transvaal
Voorwaarts (defending champions)

Other clubs to play one or more matches:

Arsenal
Atlas
H.V.V.
Mata Hari
N.A.K.S.

 2.Robinhood

NB: as M.V.V., Robinhood, Transvaal, Voorwaarts, Hollandia, Spes Patriae and P.V.V.
    formed the Eerste Klasse for the 1950/51 season, it may be assumed those clubs
    finished in the first seven places, while Paranam (and Arsenal, Atlas and H.V.V.,
    if they remained playing in the league until the end, which is not clear) were 
    apparently relegated.
