The club lost every one of the 15 matches it contested in 1877, and scored just 4 goals while conceding 36; six of these losses were on forfeit as the club struggled to field a team.
It was seen by fans, the media and other teams as being equal to a social club at the elite level: at the end of the 1877 season, ‘Marlborough’, writing in The Advertiser, implicitly echoed these sentiments regarding the Bankers club, and expressed the hope "that no efforts will be made to establish it next season".
Shortly afterwards, the Bankers dropped out of the SAFA and disbanded.[1]
