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 […]

Wigan 15 Ormskirk 22
January 20th 2007
It was pleasing to see Ormskirk finally play a mid-season pool game and for all who were there to see, nobody could question the commitment shown from either side in a keenly fought contest. Both teams rested many players and ‘kirk selected a side comprising of those coming back […]

Ormskirk First XV 25th Nov 2006
Ruskin Park 41-19 Ormskirk
It wasn’t so much a sucker punch, more of a devastating assault that left Ormskirk wondering how to get into a match that saw them trailing 19-0 inside the opening 10 minutes. With the St. Helen’s outfit Ruskin Park proving once again that if they get possession […]

First XV Report - 11th Nov 2006
Ormskirk 11 Oswestry 17
Ormskirk were looking to emulate their success in the last league game with another win against newly promoted Oswestry. Unfortunately a lack of clinical finishing and spillages proved to be the first team’s undoing.

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 17 Manchester Wanderers 20
