1876

The third round of the FA Cup on 29th January 1876 saw Royal Engineers defeated 3-1 by Swifts. The Slough based club therefore become team 6 on our list. 
Their tenure was brief, however, as in the semi-final on 26.2.76 they were beaten 2-1 by Wanderers.

1876 Final

Wanderers began their second reign with a final against Old Etonians on 11.3.76. The Oval was the venue, Mr. W.S. Buchanan (Clapham Rovers) took charge and a crowd of 3500 was recorded. 
Kinnaird was in the Old Etonians' side. Wanderers took a 35th minute lead through John Hawley Edwards, who played internationals for both Wales and England. The match finished 1-1.
Again Old Etonians found themselves somewhat hampered in the replay on 18.3.76 by players being absent due to prior commitments. The match ended  3–0 to the Wanderers, with Thomas Hughes getting 2, the first time a player had scored more than one goal in a final.

The first round of the 1876–77 Cup saw Wanderers given a walkover against Saffron Walden Town. On 16.12.76 a bumper crowd of 3,721 witnessed their 6-0 demolition of Southall in round 2.
