Ormskirk First XV 25th Nov 2006
Ruskin Park 41-19 Ormskirk
It wasn’t so much a sucker punch, more of a devastating assault that left Ormskirk wondering how to get into a match that saw them trailing 19-0 inside the opening 10 minutes. With the St. Helen’s outfit Ruskin Park proving once again that if they get possession […]

Tries - R Cowan (3), G Kendall (2), A O’Malley (2), J Leitch, K Johnson
Conversions - J Leitch (7) 
Had it not been for a long lost sister and a bottle of gin prop Lesley Kenny might have been on time for this game.  As it was she turned up shortly before half time looking like […]

Fleetwood u13 7pts - Ormskirk u13 10pts
Its a long way to Fleetwood, but a nice journey back knowing you’ve won.
A delayed departure without the only two subs available was not the best start, and as the 15 players travelled to Fleetwood it was the coaches’ job to try and formulate the best line up. Thankfully […]

ORUFC Ladies junior players Joanna Smith (Ormskirk School) and Sarah Wallbank (Burscough Priory). Both girls played for Lancashire U17s last Sunday - Congratulations on gaining County honours!!

Following two narrow defeats early in the season by Vale of Lune and Lymm, the team secured their first win in the match against Hoylake on November 5th. So that all of the 15 strong squad who travelled to Hoylake had a game, three matches were played with scorelines of 5-0, 2-0 and 3-0. All of the team played extremely […]

Just being involved in the county teams wasn’t enough for five senior and two junior Ormskirk players - they also had to notch up five tries and two man of the match awards!

Sarah Wallbank and Joanna Smith were involved with the U17s who lost 15-0 in a hard fought game.  Both Ormskirk girls played well, but Jo […]

Tyldesley u13  29-7  Ormskirk u13 
The U13s travelled to Tyldesley for a pool fixture in bouyant mood after a good win at Lymm a fortnight ago. However, after a bright start it all fell apart in a poor second half.

The opening half was end to end with big hits from both sides allied to some good […]

Chorley 2nd XV 21 Ormskirk 4th XV 17
Ormskirk 4ths made the short trip to Local rivals Chorley at the weekend, and saw their hopes of continuing their winning streak shattered in somewhat of a controversial match. Playing the game in driving rain and on a surface that looked more suitable to growing potatoes […]

First XV Report - 11th Nov 2006
Ormskirk 11 Oswestry 17
Ormskirk were looking to emulate their success in the last league game with another win against newly promoted Oswestry. Unfortunately a lack of clinical finishing and spillages proved to be the first team’s undoing.

To describe Saturday’s weather as blustery would be an understatement and […]

This Sunday sees two U17s and five senior Ormskirk players in action for Lancashire as well as one senior Chester Uni / Ormskirk player in the Cheshire line up.   
This is a fantastic achievement for Ormskirk Ladies and reflects the hard work and commitment of our coaches and players over the last couple of seasons.

The games are both at […]

The trouble with Ormskirk Ladies is that they just don’t look like a rugby team.  Locks Gail Kendall and Cath Nixon look like schoolgirls - spindly and jejune.  Hooker Kristin Harkins, scrum half Katie Johnson and centre […]
