Hull Kingston Rovers were formed in 1882 by a group of boilermakers
Salford City Reds
The club began life rather modestly in 1873, when the boys of the Cavendish Street chapel, situated in the Hulme district of Manchester, decided to form their own rugby football team. Within two years, they were to cross the Irwell into Salford and,, in 1879, they adopted the name of their new home. The club rapidly developed into one of the strongest teams in the country and became the first ever champions of Lancashire in 1893
