The club was excluded for the1892–93 season as the League was reduced to six members.[4] It rejoined the Junior League, and enjoyed its greatest honour by beating theGlentoran second XI to win theIrish Intermediate Cup in 1895–96, despite the side being struck by a bout ofinfluenza.[5] However, despite a support that was larger in number than that of some of the senior clubs,[6] the club folded during the 1896–97 season.[7]
