Brisbane Rugby League 1928, Round Five

Brothers vs Grammars

This result was challenged by Grammars on the basis that Brothers’ forward Jim O’Mara, recently returned to Brisbane from Toowoomba, was not yet eligible. The challenge was upheld, the result annulled and a replay ordered. The replay was held as part of the 4 June holiday fixtures (round 8).
