[2] The club's first reported match was its first-ever FA Cup tie, against St Stephens of Westminster.

[5] In the second round the club won 2–0 at Hawks of Anerley, helped by an injury to the home side's Jones after 15 minutes which rendered him a passenger.

[6] The run ended at the Kennington Oval in the third round, Upton Park taking an easy 3–0 win, a fourth goal at the call of time being disallowed because a spectator had kicked the ball from behind the touchline back into play.

Ten minutes into the first period, a shot by Darwen's Love was deflected off "an unhappy Remnant" and William Hawtrey in goal was wrong-footed.

The Remnants also entered the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup in the 1880s, reaching the final in 1881, but lost 1–0 to Marlow, who also had two goals disallowed for offside.
