The match ended goalless, after a Hawks goal was disallowed as Mosquitoes noticed that the club had 12 men on the pitch.

This weight difference proved decisive, as the Hawks' Jones went off injured in the first half,[7] and both Remnants goals came from scrimmages.

[10] In 1878–79, the club lost to the Swifts in the first round, having taken the lead, but conceding an equalizer which saw a shot from Charles Bambridge "touching the tape, but going through", before a goal which the Hawks disputed as being offside.

The name was revived in 1884 for another club in Anerley,[14] with an entirely different set of players, and wearing red and black,[15] but still playing at the Robin Hood fields.

The club played a ground three minutes' walk from Anerley railway station, using the Robin Hood public house for its facilities.
