UK Elite Teams By Season : 1961-65


For the summary of the seasons from 1960/61 to 1964/65, points have been allocated according to success. The league, finals, Challenge Cup, League Cup, Yorkshire Cup and Lancashire Cup are listed in that order. Only three finals series were held.

First: Wakefield had a strong side in the early 1960's. They didn't win the league but two Challenge Cups (one above; British Pathé) and three Yorkshire Cups were enough to be placed top. 

Second: St Helens took out one league title, a Challenge Cup and no fewer than four Lancashire Cups. 

Third: Wigan won a league title and Challenge Cup but that was not enough to get them anywhere near the top two.
