1900 and 1901 FA Cup Finals
Kingscott was the last man to referee the FA Cup Final in two different years when he took charge of both the 1900 and 1901 matches (indeed the second of those matches featured a replay; Kingscott was the referee there as well). Both matches were notable for featuring Southern League sides, a feat which had arisen due to the fallout created by The Association Footballers' Union attempt to unionise football in 1898.
In the first of those matches Bury defeated Southampton and in the second Tottenham were victorious against Sheffield United.
