06/11/1899 played at Millwall; after extra-time, 2-2 after 90mins. 08/11/1899 played at Tottenham. 14/11/1899 played at Gravesend. 26/12/1899 abandoned after 75 minutes due to fog. 01/01/1900 abandoned after 60minuts due to fog.
24/04/1900 abandoned after 65 mins due to crowd behaviour and not replayed. It is uncertain whether or not the result actually stood. I have assumed that it did.
