At the start of the third year, they acquired a pitch in Victoria Park, where they played until they moved to Bennetts Recreation Ground, Padgate.

Woolston Rovers were one of the original ten clubs invited to join BARLA's National League in 1986.

At the end of the 2006 season, the Woolston Rovers committee decided to relaunch an open age team.

An application to the North West Counties league was accepted, but Woolston Rovers had to start in Division 6.

In their second season of National League rugby, the Warrington Woolston Rovers finished the season in the third spot, defeating Bradford Dudley Hill in the play-off to make the Grand Final in Halton Stadium, Widnes, where they lost to Coventry Bears by 48–24.

At the end of that season, the summer Rugby League Conference team broke away from Woolston, changing their name to Warrington Wizards and adopting the colour purple.

In 2010, the Wizards beat Huddersfield Underbank Rangers 23–18 in the Grand Final at the Halliwell Jones Stadium to win the Rugby League Conference National Division title.

They applied to join the National Conference League under the Woolston Rovers name, but they will compete as the Wizards in the 2013 Challenge Cup.

By merging with Woolston Rovers, they joined the open age sector with the juniors to form the current club.
