[7] There was no referee for the match, so, after a Home Park goal was disputed for being offside, the teams continued with the decision to be left for the Football Association to rule, as was normal under the laws of the game at the time.

[8] The second round tie with South Norwood, at the Kennington Oval, proved controversial, as both sides claimed to have won 1–0.

[10] As at the time the referee's decision was subject to an appeal, the Football Association ordered a replay, which Home Park won easily.

The third round tie, with Maidenhead, was played at the Slough cricket pitch, as a neutral ground, as Home Park refused to toss for the choice of venue.

[12] The winning goal was from an early example of a corner kick (at the time, called a free-kick), which was landed at the feet of Hebbes, who made no mistake.
