Rodney Marsh. The club was replaced by another Cork team, Albert Rovers for that season.[6]

In 1985 former player-manager Amby Fogarty attempt to revive the Cork Hibernians name, with the club elected to join the new League of Ireland First Division. However the club was removed from the League of Ireland without playing a game, as the Munster F.A. refused the new team a lease on Turners Cross unless they had their own public liability insurance, which Hibernians could not afford.[7]
