The stage is set as we take on Widnes Vikings in the 1895 Cup Final at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington on 31st August.

For the first time ever, one of these two famous clubs will lift the 1895 Cup trophy, and after months of hard work, unforgettable moments and dominant performances, only 80 minutes stand between us and silverware.

The Road to the Final

Having been giving a preliminary game versus Barrow, we start our campaign in mid-March with a win 36-10 against the Raiders leading to an emphatic result over Keighley 62-6. The quarter-final victory over Doncaster was a tougher test for the team but produced a commanding display in the second half leading to us the semi-final, running in 11 tries to defeat Midlands Hurricanes 62-24. Brandon Webster-Mansfield stole the headlines with four tries as we secured our place in our first ever 1895 Cup Final.

Widnes Vikings have shown their own resilience and quality throughout their cup campaign starting with a resounding result against Dewsbury 50-10. The Vikings produced a remarkable comeback from 18-0 down to defeat Newcastle Thunder 30-20 in the quarter-finals before making a huge statement in the semi-final, overpowering Rochdale Hornets 52-0 at the DCBL Stadium to book their return to the 1895 Cup Final for the first time since 2019.

Previous Meeting: Broncos Lay Down a Marker

The two sides met in the opening round of the Betfred Championship season back in January, where we produced a powerful second-half display to claim an emphatic 44-12 victory.

After a closely contested opening 40 minutes, the Broncos found another level after the break, scoring 28 unanswered points to pull away from the Vikings and make an early statement in the Championship race.

But cup finals have a habit of creating their own stories.

Widnes will arrive desperate to gain revenge and finally get their hands on the trophy, while we will be looking to continue our 2026 campaign and add a first 1895 Cup title to our history.
