History
The club's first reported match was its first-ever FA Cup tie, against St Stephens of Westminster.[3] Although a new club, many of the Remnants players had played for Windsor Home Park F.C. and the St Mark's side in the previous season.
The club competed in the FA Cup in the 1870s.[4] The club tended to enter the FA Cup in years Windsor Home Park did not do so, although in 1880–81 and 1881–82 both teams did so. The club's last entry was in 1882–83, but it scratched when drawn to play Reading Minster F.C. in the first round, captain T. B. Hughes playing for fellow Slough side the Swifts instead.
