The SJL however, refused to accept the resignation and the incumbent Hibs committee chose to close the club down in early June 1939.
[2] Immediately, a new club Maryhill Harp was founded by former Hibernians officials and by the end of June 1939, they had intimated their intention to apply for the Central League using Hibs' former Kelvinvale Park.
Latterly, Harp enjoyed moderate success, although they reached the final of the West of Scotland Cup in 1954–55, losing in a replay to Douglas Water Thistle.
Although the area of the ground has been completely redeveloped, Kelvinvale was located around present day Kilmun Street / Ledgowan Place.
[1][2] Hibs/Harp was generally run on a low cost basis and supplied players for wealthier Junior clubs and Senior teams.
