Ormskirk 1st Team v Warrington (Home) WON 17-10
24th February 2007
Ormskirk First XV put in a fine performance beating Warrington at Green Lane. With confidence riding high after the previous week’s victory the team took the lead early on in the first half with another Andy Wroe try. Set up by Ste Stone at fly half […]

Previously, Ormskirk had started matches quietly, often being down in the first half then ending up victorious. Today however, the team came out all guns blazing and ready for action for this local Derby.
The first match was fast paced with fast forward movement and some slick passing by Ormskirk who also defended well with first time tagging […]

The under 7s started this season with a very young and inexperienced squad (mostly year 1 children). None had played previously except for two 5yr olds. Their first few matches were lost despite valiant efforts from all payers. However the squad seemed to start to gell in December when playing at home to Manchester they won […]

24th February 2007
Rossendale 3rd XV 20 Ormskirk 4th XV 10
Ormskirk 4ths made the long journey to Rossendale a player short of a full complement. The Gingerbread Men therefore knew that they would be up against a solid outfit who had not only numerical advantage but home advantage also.

It was the home side who took […]

Heaton Moor WRUFC    10
Ormskirk Ladies RUFC   36
Tries - G Kendall (4), R Cowan, J Leitch
Conversions - J Leitch (3)
Ten minutes into the second half, with the game poised 12-10 in the Ladies’ favour, leggy lock Catherine Nixon broke through the Heaton Moor centres, galloped 20m and put No 8 Gail Kendall through and clear.  Fly […]

The 8s travelled to Waterloo on the 18th full of confidence and keen to get a first win of 2007 after draws against Widnes and Leigh. Alas it was not to be and we went down 8 - 5 although the spoils could have gone either way. The match was played with great enthusiasm […]

Match Report – 17th February 2007
Ormskirk 2nd XV 23 Winnington Park 2nd XV 12
After a disappointing league performance against Vale of Lune a few weeks ago, ‘The Raiders’ got back to winning ways in a solid display against Winnington Park. Despite a luke-warm effort for much of the first-half, the home crowd were […]

This weekend saw Ormskirk hosting the next group stage of The Under 12s Lancashire Cup with a triangular tournament against Southport and Waterloo. The day again started badly for the Ormskirk team with news of the withdrawal of two players due to illness. This meant that Ormskirk only had two substitutes which is a real […]

Ormskirk First XV Match Report - 17th Feb 2007
Ashton on Mersey 8- 25 Ormskirk
Ormskirk had already beaten Ashton this season so confidence was high going into the away tie. From the kick off Ashton had other ideas and a barrage of punching ball up the middle of the park and clever switching of runners […]

Ormskirk u13s 7pts - Tarleton u13s 7pts
Earlier in the season Tarleton came to Green Lane in the Lancs Challenge Cup and went away worthy 15-0 winners. Maybe they came on Sunday expecting another straightforward victory.

However, boosted by a great improvement in the past few weeks Ormskirk didn’t want to surrender as easily. Matches between these […]
