April 2022 1992 Lancashire Cup Regional knockout championship Wigan Winners St Helens 1991 Lancashire Cup 1991–92 16 The 1992–93 Lancashire Cup was the 80th and last occasion on which the Lancashire Cup competition was held. Wigan won the trophy by beating St Helens by the score of 5-4 in the final. Background The failure of London Crusaders to enter, due primarily to financial pressures, resulted in the number of entrants this year decreasing by one to 16. This resulted in a full fixture list, with no requirement for a preliminary round, nor any “blank” or “dummy” fixtures or any byes. Competition and results First round Involved eight matches and 16 clubs.Rugby League Project http://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/competitions/lancashire-cup/results.html?page=6 Game NoFixture DateHome teamScoreAway teamVenueAttRef1Fri 11 Sep 1992Rochdale Hornets8–36WiganSpotland2,936Wigan "Cherry and White" archived results http://wigan.rlfans.com/news.php?readmore=3199 16 February 2014 21 February 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140221234707/http://wigan.rlfans.com/news.php?readmore=3199 dead2Sun 13 Sep 1992Barrow2–36St HelensCraven Park2,317Saints Heritage Society - History - Season 1896–97 http://www.saints.org.uk/saints.org.uk/home/viewpage.php?page_id=9 16 February 2014 2 March 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120302024842/http://www.saints.org.uk/saints.org.uk/home/viewpage.php?page_id=9 dead3Sun 13 Sep 1992Blackpool Gladiators8–22Workington TownJepson Way, Blackpool736 4Sun 13 Sep 1992Leigh50–9Chorley BoroughHilton Park1,3325Sun 13 Sep 1992Oldham33–20WarringtonWatersheddings4,041Warrington Wolves - Results Archive - 1897 http://www.warringtonwolves.org/results-archive?y=1897 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20100706043029/http://www.warringtonwolves.org/results-archive?y=1897 2010-07-06 6Sun 13 Sep 1992Salford60–8WhitehavenThe Willows1,9857Sun 13 Sep 1992Swinton40–10HighfieldStation Road6168Sun 13 Sep 1992Widnes52–8CarlisleNaughton Park3,733 Widnes Vikings - History - Season In Review - 1896–97 http://www.rugby.widnes.tv/seasonreview.php?mid=1896&smid=1896-97&mids=1896 Second round Involved four matches and eight clubs.
