Notes and comments
1 * Bradford Dudley Hill are a Junior (amateur) club from Bradford

2 * Saddleworth Rangers are a Junior (amateur) club from Oldham

3 * Egremont are a Junior (amateur) club from Cumbria

4 * At this time Fulham were a bit nomadic, using a collection of grounds as their "home", but the likelihood was that this match was probably played at Chiswick Polytechnic Sports Ground

5 * RUGBYLEAGUEproject and Rothmans yearbook 1991-92 give the score as 6-35 but Wigan official archives gives it as 6-5, which must be a misprint as Batley were the team progressing to the next round

6 * Headingley, Leeds, is the home ground of Leeds RLFC with a capacity of 21,000. The record attendance was 40,175 for a league match between Leeds and Bradford Northern on 21 May 1947.
