Competition

Regular season and title play-offs

[edit]

There were six participating teams in the Santam Bank Trophy Division B. These teams were split into two sections of either three of four teams each. Teams played the other teams in their section four times over the course of the season, twice at home and twice away. Teams received two points for a win and one points for a draw. The top team qualified for the section finals, played at the home venue of the higher-placed team, as well as the Division B finals.

Promotion play-offs

[edit]

The Division B champion qualified for the promotion play-offs. That team played off against the team placed bottom in Division A over two legs. The winner over these two ties qualified for the 1989 Santam Bank Trophy Division A, while the losing team qualified for the 1989 Santam Bank Trophy Division B.
