Not all the matches were played due to a dispute between clubs and the Irish Football Association which meant Linfield were excluded from matches after February 1912 and had to complete their matches under the name Belfast Blues (their results however, were counted separately from Linfield's). Additionally, Derry Celtic forfeited three of their matches.[3]
