Ormskirk 12 Crewe & Nantwich 39
A bitterly disappointing result against Manchester Wanderers last week – when ‘kirk gave away a 17 point lead to lose agonisingly in the last few minutes – was a timely reminder to Cliff Kirby’s men that nothing in this league can be taken for granted.

Ormskirk started this match with […]

The under 12s had a mixed tournament over in Manchester at the weekend.They put on their best display against a strong Widnes team in their first match. Even though losing by two tries to nil the much smaller Ormskirk pack dominated the match, constantly driving the much bigger Widnes forwards backwards. In addition Ormskirk appeared […]

Ormskirk Ladies’ hardcore - the ones that never turn down a game of rugby - travelled to Cheshire to take on a battle hardened Northwich team.  Despite a gutsy and occassionally, brilliant display they were denied victory by a try two minutes from time.

Ormskirk 2nds v Vale of Lune – 7.10.06
Ormskirk’s 2nd XV shared home billing with the 1st team at Green Lane, although unlike their senior colleagues, they held on to their first half lead to record a well deserved victory over Vale of Lune.

Having won the toss, Vale made the bizarre decision to kick into a […]

The U13s travelled to Winnington Park with many changes, a couple of injuries and three unavailable. It was always going to be a tough encounter against a large opposition, both in the number of players in their squad and their size.

To lose by 5 tries to nil was disappointing due to the fact that […]

The day was one that was full of expectation and a record number of away supporters were due, […]
