2nd XV Match Report – 16.02.08
Bolton 7 Ormskirk 8
With Ormskirk’s 2nd XV now closing in on promotion, early season flair and panache has, on occasions, made way for some good old-fashioned grit and determination as they strive to hold on to second place in the league.

Yesterday’s encounter at Bolton was a case in point, […]

Match Summary – 2nd February 2008
Ruskin Park 2nds 0 Ormskirk 2nds 31
First half was a dull affair, The Raiders not dominating up front like they’ve become accustomed to this season
Very few clear-cut chances for either team

After some sterling work by the forwards, stand-off Alex Lambie saw a big over-lap on the left, fed Montrose […]

2nd XV Match Summary – 19th January 2008
Ormskirk 17 Leigh 7
Green Lane remained one of the few venues in the Millers Home leagues to survive the appalling weather conditions this weekend. Thanks to some sterling early-morning remedial pitch maintenance by the 2nd XV’s hooker – Dave Jonsson – and the captain Ged Dawson, […]

Vale of Lune 22 Ormskirk 2nd XV 10
Liverpool St Helens 4ths 46 Ormskirk 3rd XV 22
The Second XV had a disappointing time of it in the wilds of Lancaster. Despite battering Vale at Green Lane, the home team put up a much better fight of it this time round. Very strong winds and […]

All four senior mens’ teams played this weekend, but only the Third XV were in a ‘competitive’ fixture

A depleted First XV went down 22-10 against the newly formed Hutton RUFC (ex-Tarleton). Though a ‘friendly’ match, Hutton really took the game to ‘kirk, who were surprised by the strength, speed and ability of the opposition. […]

Ormskirk 2nd XV 48 Sandbach 3rd XV 26
31st March 2007
It’s been a difficult season so far for the second team at Ormskirk Rugby Club – a combination of injuries and re-shuffling of personnel has resulted in some poor results. Effort has always been in abundance, but the quality of the opposition has often meant […]

Ormskirk 2nd XV 19 – 19 Glossop 2nd XV
3rd March 2007
Ormskirk welcomed Glossop to their first ever visit to Green Lane in what was billed as a must win game for both teams in a fiercely fought relegation battle. With 5 teams to be relegated from a 14 team league and Ormskirk lying 8th, in […]

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 […]
