[5] It had 20 members in its first full season, but proved to be active, taking part in 23 matches, winning 16 and only losing 1,[6] its sole defeat coming against the Pilgrims.

[7] Its earliest recorded match was a 2–0 win over the Ramblers F.C.,[8] although a club simply called "Park", which included the original Southill Park captain Mantle in its line-up, lost at the Mosquitoes club in February.

[11] The club continued until the end of the 1878–79 season, the final match being a 7–1 defeat at Upton Park F.C.

[13] The club originally played at Hampstead, five minutes' walk from the station,[14] although match reports through the year give the location as Clapton.

By 1878 it had moved to Walthamstow, its dressing room at the Rose and Crown public house in Leaf Lane.
