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: Round 5 matches were originally scheduled for 04/06/1898. Bundamba Rangers vs. Dinmore Bush Rats was cancelled when the appointed Brisbane referee failed to appear (Qld Times 02/06/1898). Rosebank vs. Blackstone Rovers was probably postponed due to wet weather in Brisbane on 04/06/1898.
Note 3: For the Round 6 match Bundamba Rangers vs. Norman, the venue was switched from Bundamba to Brisbane at the request of Norman. Bundamba Rangers agreed, rather than accept a forfeit from Norman due to the lack of its players willing to travel to Ipswich (Qld Times 25/08/1898).
Note 4: Round 8 match: Norman 3 Blackstone Rovers 2. Blackstone Rovers lodged a protest that Norman had played two unregistered players (Qld Times 06/09/1898).
The protest must have been successful and the result over-turned because a play-off match was required. The result of the protest had not been determined as at Qld Times 15/09/1898, but a play-off was scheduled as reported in Qld Times 22/09/1898.
