Ormskirk 2nd XV 27 – Burnley 2nd XV 5
A horrible trend that ‘The Raiders’ will have to try and buck is the way they start their matches this season. With last week’s poor performance fresh in everybody’s minds the home team prepared to face their latest opposition – Burnley - at fortress Green Lane. […]

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!

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 […]

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.

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 […]
