Wigan RL History - 1946-47 Season

Click to View: 1945-1946 Season or 1947-1948 Season

1946-47 ended up being the longest season on record after a poor winter saw many matches postponed. Just as the country was recovering from post-World War II fuel and food shortages, it had to cope with prolonged frost and snow from 21 January to 16 March. Wigan were not actually that badly affected but other teams had huge backlogs which meant the regular season only finished on 31st May and the Championship Final won by Wigan was played seven weeks late on 21st June!

Wigan Final League Position: 1st (Coach: Jim Sullivan)
League Champions: Wigan (6 - 13-4 v Dewsbury)
Challenge Cup Winners: Bradford Northern (8-4 v Leeds)
Lancashire Cup Winners: Wigan (9 - 9-3 v Belle Vue)
Lancashire League Winners: Wigan (13)
