Following last weeks league win the thirds had regained 4th position in the league and had good reason to be in high spirits and full of confidence.
This weekend offered a break from the league fixtures as Cup fever took over at Green Lane well for the 2nds, 3rds and 4ths at least.

After numerous changes […]

I am attempting to update the Club’s data-base. There are quite a few ‘gaps’ in terms of members’ details - addresses, e-mails, contact numbers.
If you are a relatively new member, or if you DON’T receive any membership information in the post by this Friday, please contact me so I can add you to my […]

Sandbach 3rds 15 Ormskirk 3rds 20
21st October 2006
Things couldn’t get much worse after last week when ‘kirk allowed themselves to be rolled over after leading 12 - 0 at half time. They say that lightning doesn’t strike twice, but today it came surprisingly close.

Ormskirk Thirds arrived at Sandbach with the same positive attitude that they […]

With Kirk’s third XV suffering nosebleeds after rising to fifth place in the table following last weeks win, it was time to strap on the oxygen tanks leave the ponies behind and make their way onwards and upwards.

The day was one that was full of expectation and a record number of away supporters were due, […]

This week - in keeping with the ‘win a game lose a game’ philosophy of the 3rds for this season - saw ‘kirk beat Wigan 36 points to 20. Knowing that Wigan, after good results so far this season, were likely to be a bigger challenge than last year Kirk were fired up and eager […]

After last week’s convincing win against Carrington the thirds arrived at Leigh in high spirits and full of confidence. Unfortunately this was soon tempered when they were informed that Leigh allegedly had no recognisable front row and therefore would have to ‘compete’ with uncontested scrums.

The old heads of Hesketh, Liversidge and Dolan were quick […]

After a flat game against Widnes last week kirk were looking forward to this weeks visit by Carrington who they had beaten home and away last season. This season however has seen Carrington merge wih Ashton on Mersey thirds to address their problems of lack of numbers last season. It turned out that Ormskirk had […]

Traveling to Widnes for the first league match of the season was always going to be a test, but Ormskirk 3rds started well against an experienced and physically strong home side, however despite dominating the early set scrums Critchley’s side were strangely second best in the rucks and mauls and went in at half time two tries […]

In the first of an irregular and irreverent look at the lower leagues we can report that two of the teams in Division 5 North have already conceded a game without touching the ball! Rossendale 3’s conceding away to Lostock 1sts (who visit Green Lane on Saturday to play our never-say-die 4th team) and Blackpool 2’s failed to […]
