The early part of the season included two defeats against Forest FC (later renamed Wanderers FC), the second of them a bad-tempered affair in which the rules of the game became an object of contention. On 19 December, Barnes played neighbouring Richmond F.C. in the first ever match under the newly-published laws of the Football Association; this 15-a-side clash ended in a goalless draw. 31 October 1863 Barnes 2-1 Students"Students of the Rev.
