UK Elite Teams By Season : 1976-80

For the summary of the seasons from 1975/6 to 1979/80, points have been allocated according to success. The league, finals, Challenge Cup, League Cup, Yorkshire Cup, Lancashire Cup and the BBC Floodlit Trophy are listed in that order. 

First: In this period, Widnes was by far the most successful with the best score in four of the six competitions it could be involved with (one shared). They won four Lancashire Cups, a league competition, grand final,  Challenge Cup and BBC Trophy! 

Second: St Helens grabbed the other two 'best in class' that Widnes missed out on plus shared one with the above club. They won two grand finals, a league title and a BBC trophy. 

Third: Leeds was the most successful with the Yorkshire Cup. Leeds actually won three of them along with two challenge Cups and a grand final.
