The Clubs History

The name ‘Halton Hornets’ came about from the idea of of the two rugby posts on a field the two H’s, and the connection with Runcorn, where the club sometimes trained, and also had a number of players from. The connection ‘Halton”, Widnes had Halton View and Runcorn had Halton Castle, and the Hornets you may well ask? Well that came from Rochdale Hornets and so the famous club was now named and incorporated – Halton Hornets.
