General notes

"Five Score", the history of the Ipswich & District League, suggests that the First Team also competed in the Ipswich & District League this season, but it was the Reserves and 'A' team, also known as the IDL'ers, that did so.

Two trial games were held at Portman Road:

Tue 03-09-1929 Whites 6 Stripes 0
Wed 04-09-1929 Whites 3 Stripes 2
