History

Rugby football had been played in the Wath Brow area of Cleator Moor for many years before the schism of 1895. The original Hornets club was formed in 1898, just a few years after the breakaway and decided to play the northern union code of rugby. The club disbanded in 1904.

A new club with the same name was formed in 1920. This club however, disbanded at the start of World War II in 1939.

The current incarnation of the club was formed in 1955 and joined the National Conference League in 2002.
