Ormskirk came to the business end of the season in a confident mood and were looking to beat Rochdale after an easy win over them earlier in the season.

Ormskirk u15s 26pts - Warrington u15s 7pts
This was a repeat of last year’s semi-final, but that’s where any similarity finished. It was a great game with both sides giving their all, no quarter asked or given, but still played in a very sporting fashion. Warrington arrived with confidence and this season have made a number […]
Vagabonds 10 Ormskirk 41
Ormskirk travelled to the Isle of Man for this re-arranged league fixture and put in an impressive performance with highlights coming from an Andy Wroe Hat trick and a John Armstrong 21 point haul.

Sunday 15th March was a re-arranged fixture away to Manchester. We fielded 2 evenly balanced teams (just possible from a squad of 19) as did Manchester so the format was for both Ormskirk teams to play both Manchester teams in turn on adjacent pitches with the matches running simultaneously. Manchester are a very strong club […]

Ormskirk u15 37*pts - Southport u15 7pts

This week the under 14s welcomed their old friends from the coast, Southport, in The Blackstick’s Blue Lancashire Plate 1/4 final.

Ormskirk u15s 33pts - Altrincham u15s 26pts
Ormskirk came out of a dark period on Sunday, with a performance that was absolutely top class - they played some of the best rugby for the past two seasons as they built up a good lead, lost it and then won the game with a piece of magic.
The […]
With the Lancashire Plate quarter-final just a week away the Under 14s travelled down to sunny Cheshire hoping for a testing game against Altrincham Kersal.
