Note 1: Abbreviations in the results for matches where the result is known, but the score is unavailable: W = Won; D = Drew; L = Lost; U = No record of result or if the match was played.

Note 2: Bush Rats vs. Blackstone Rovers. The ball burst 20 minutes from the end. However, the result was finalised after Bush Rats conceded the match to Blackstone Rovers.

Note 3: Ipswich AFC was not listed among the clubs attending the formation of the WMBFA (Qld Times 17/08/1891). However, it is possible the club may have subsequently joined the new association and competed in the cup.

Therefore, while Dinmore vs. Ipswich has been listed here as a cup game, it could have been a friendly match with Dinmore receiving a bye in Round 1 of the Cup.

Note 4: Dinmore protested against Blackstone Rovers fielding an unregistered player, plus the second goal not passing between the posts (Qld Times 01/09/1891). The protest relating to the unregistered player was upheld and the match was ordered to be replayed (Qld Times 18/09/1891).
