Bowdon 1st XV 27 – 5 Ormskirk 1st XV
Ormskirk lost out at high-flying Bowdon in their first game of 2012 after a disappointing 2nd half performance. Kirk started brightly and, playing into a strong wind, really took the game to Bowdon and the home side struggled to cope with number 8 Ben Davis who went […]

Warrington 1st XV 10 – 6 Ormskirk 1st XV

Ormskirk 1st XV 7 – 26 Tyldesley 1st XV
Ormskirk lost out to 3rd placed Tyldesley in a stop-start affair played out in great conditions for rugby at Green Lane. Both teams started strongly, testing their opponents defence with direct running and good ball retention, meaning that for the first 5 minutes possession only changed hands […]

Ormskirk were the latest team to face the daunting task of visiting Heywood Road to face a Sale team that have aspirations of playing at a much higher level. No other team has come close to Sale this season and it is hardly surprising when they are regularly fielding many Sale Jets (Sale Sharks development […]

The game was played in glorious, energy-sapping sunshine and Ormskirk started brightly. After Glossop’s fly-half put his kick-off straight out (probably his only mistake with the boot […]
