A new book detailing the triumphs and tribulations of Rochdale Hornets’ 150-year history is now available to buy.

Co-written by Jim Stringer and Mark Wynn, Triumph and Disaster provides a detailed insight into the defining moments of the last century and a half.

From the famous Challenge Cup victory of the 1920s to recent pandemic-hit seasons, the London League Publication is a story of “a survival, struggle, conflict and relentless optimism.”

Despite the challenges that come with playing semi-professional rugby league, the book is a nod to the club’s admiral ability to battle on in the face of adversity.

As we prepare to enter the club’s 126^th year of existence there is no doubt that this current crop of players, and staff, will continue that theme and make the badge proud.
