Decline of the rugby union club
There are no reports of any matches from 1878-79 season onwards. The loss of the club captain may not have helped. The club's playing field was on farmland at Berryyards in Greenock; which was a farmstead built on an ancient fruit garden.[29] However the site was taken over by the Berryyards Sugar Refinery.[30]
Other sports
Greenock also had a cricket club.[31]
