History
Early years Although the official foundation date for the club is given as 1879, (rugby) football was certainly played in the town before that date and there was an earlier club bearing the same name.
Under the heading 'Outdoor Sports - Football' the Widnes Guardian of January 25 1873 reports on a recent game between Warrington and Wigan at the (unnamed) ground of the former. On 6 December 1873 that same newspaper carried details of a local derby between Warrington and Zingari and in subsequent weeks there were matches with Sale and Free Wanderers. Because surviving records from that era are fragmentary it is not possible to say with certainty what became of this Warrington club.
Warrington Zingari was founded in 1879 by Timothy Grix of Chatburn. The committee of the newly formed club managed to get the use of a field fronting Sankey Street. The headquarters of the club were at the White Hart Hotel in Sankey Street. The first match was away game against the Walton side played at Rice Field in Liverpool on the 18th October 1879. Walton won by three goals to nil.
The first home game at Sankey Street for the club was against Oughtrington, with Warrington gaining their first victory by three goals to one. In their first season Warrington played 11 games, won 7, lost 2 and drew 2. A year later, The Warrington Guardian purchased the land in Sankey Street for its new offices and the club was forced to move to a new pitch at Wilderspool.
Another local club, Padgate Excelsior amalgamated with Warrington in 1881 - 1882 to form a representative town side. After one season at Wilderspool Road, the club obtained another field at Slutchers Lane. A year later, Warrington moved back to Sankey Street to play in a field behind the towns Post Office.
In 1883 - 1884, they moved for the fourth time, this time back to Wilderspool Road, the new pitch being just a short distance from the previous ground. In 1884 - 1885, Warrington were strengthened again when the club Warrington Wanderers joined the town side.
In 1886, the club won its first silverware, the South West Lancashire and Border Towns Trophy. On August 28th 1895, the Committee decided to join with 21 other clubs throughout Lancashire and Yorkshire to form a new 'Northern Union' and resigned from the RFU. The Rugby Football Union (RFU) is the rugby union governing body in England. ...
In 1900 - 1901, Warrington reached the final of the Challenge Cup, facing Batley. A crowd of 29,000 turned out at Leeds to see Warrington battle hard but be beaten by two tries to nil. Warrington also appeared in the renamed South West Lancashire Cup against Leigh two days later. The strenuous game against Batley took its toll on the Warrington players and the match ended in a 0-0 draw, the replay never took place.
In 1903 - 1904, Warrington defeated Bradford in a semi-final replay to earn a place in the final of the Challenge Cup. Warrington put up a fine performance against Halifax but lost 8-3.

Barrow were beaten in the first round, the second round was drawn away at Halifax with Warrington winning the replay at Wilderpool 18-15. Wigan were then beaten 5-2 to set up a semi-final against Salford at Wigan.

Fifteen special trains were laid on as the town made its way to London for the final, however Leeds ran out 18-2 winners.
In the 1937-8 season, Oldham and Widnes were both knocked out by Warrington as they headed for another Lancashire Cup victory, this time 8-5 over Barrow.

He wore the number 31 (the club was refused permission for Johns to wear 77) and is rumoured to have been paid around £40,000 (Aus$100,000) per match for the Wolves.

The signing and subsequent confusion over the rules led other Super League clubs to follow the example set by the Wolves and signed their own Antipodean players on short-term contracts.
