Halbro Trophy
Vale of Lune 3rds V. Ormskirk 2nds
Another week, another lesson for Ormskirk’s second team, who on Saturday received their latest torrid lesson in the rugby school of hard knocks, but showed true grit and bravery to give their hosts a real scare!

An away trip to the outskirts of Lancaster that was […]

Always a tough encounter against a robust side that always give their all. Ormskirk travelled to Lymm and won a game with some good open rugby, the score rather flattering the home side, who although they scored two very good tries, were on the back foot for the majority of the game.

Ormskirk started brightly in a […]

Following last weeks league win the thirds had regained 4th position in the league and had good reason to be in high spirits and full of confidence.
This weekend offered a break from the league fixtures as Cup fever took over at Green Lane well for the 2nds, 3rds and 4ths at least.

After numerous changes […]

At the tail end of last season the Ladies were trounced 74 - 0 at home by a Fleetwood side who were marching to yet another League Championship.  So when, after just 2 minutes, the Fleetwood pack set up a driving maul and bulldozed their way over […]

Sandbach 3rds 15 Ormskirk 3rds 20
21st October 2006
Things couldn’t get much worse after last week when ‘kirk allowed themselves to be rolled over after leading 12 - 0 at half time. They say that lightning doesn’t strike twice, but today it came surprisingly close.

Ormskirk Thirds arrived at Sandbach with the same positive attitude that they […]

Ormskirk First XV – 21.10.06
Wigan 56 Ormskirk 0
The score line says it all – this was certainly a low point in ‘kirk’s season so far. Wigan ran in nine trys and though battling hard, Ormskirk had no answer to any of the questions the home team asked.

Ormskirk travelled to Wigan with a changed […]
