Ormskirk RUFC

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 […]

14th October 2006

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 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 […]

With Kirk’s third XV suffering nosebleeds after rising to fifth place in the table following last weeks win, it was time to strap on the oxygen tanks leave the ponies behind and make their way onwards and upwards.

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

Occasionally in sport taking an early lead can be a poisoned chalice, it wouldn’t be until the last quarter of the game that Ormskirk would realise this. ‘Kirk began this fixture in fine form. From the kick off Dave Jones caught and the pack set up […]
