Season summary Leigh won the Championship for the first time this season and Bradford their first Challenge Cup. The two divisions were combined into one competition, with Lancaster dropping out to reduce it to 31 teams. Clubs from the same county all played each other, and arranged inter-county matches as and when they could. Because not all clubs played the same number of matches positions were decided on percentages. http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/index.php?page_id=328 1905-06 Season summary 2009-08-07 https://web.archive.org/web/20090826234447/http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/index.php?page_id=328 2009-08-26 live Featherstone Rovers, who were an amateur team at this time knocked a professional side out of the Challenge Cup, when they beat Widnes 23-2 in the second round.Rothmans Rugby League Yearbook 1995-1996 Raymond Fletcher David Howes 1995 Headline Book Publishing London 0-7472-7817-2 205 There was no county league competition this season.
