Blacksticks Blue u14 Lancashire Plate Final
Ormskirk u14s  0pts – Vale of Lune u14s  17pts

Ormskirk travelled to Manchester confident of a good performance in the Plate final. Although having lost 22-10 to Vale earlier in the season, they were in a rich vein of form and were looking to upset the favourites. While the score […]

The under 13s travelled to Manchester Rugby Club confident that if they gave their best then they could win their Plate final. After looking at  recent Rochdale results the general feeling was that they would be a hard team to beat and only a committed performance by all the players would land them the […]

Dear All,
I need to move quickly regarding organising this year’s Presentation Evening. Despite more people helping out doing a few things in and for the Club, this function remains a labour of love for me to get sorted on my own…..
Anyway, the options are:
7th June @ Beaufort
Any saturday in June @ The Comrades Club
October/November […]

As the season draws to the ‘business end’ for most teams it also draws to a sad close on what appears to be one of the most successful years on the field Ormskirk RUFC has seen for some time. This success comes from good organisation off the field but a genuine strength and depth […]

Another glorious spring morning welcomed Blackburn at
Green Lane.
The first game was fast and furious with excellent play from both sides, however, all our drill work and training had paid off, we were by far the stronger side and won easily 7 – 2. 

With a quick change of players we began the next match full of […]

There are some very well known and hotly contested sporting encounters:Liverpool v Everton, Rangers v Celtic, England v anyone (in any sport!) Etc.Etc. But none quite compare to an Ormskirk v Southport Rugby fixture. However, by some fluke of fixtures and tournament runs, Ormskirk U11s travelled the short distance to Southport without having played them […]

If ever there was a time not to play the under 13s this was it. With places up for grabs in next week’s Lancashire Plate Final, every player was keen to give of their best and impress the coaches into picking them.

Ormskirk had the unenviable task of playing the first half into a stiff breeze […]

Ormskirk U14s 49pts - Consett U14s 10pts
Ormskirk welcomed the tourists from the North East, played some great rugby and thoroughly entertained an appreciative crowd in a game played in a fantastic spirit by both sides.

Ormskirk’s plan was to play a simple style of rugby - win the ball and give it to the backs. It […]

29.03.08 - WARRINGTON 5-24 ORMSKIRK
The English weather showed up in true style at Warrington this weekend but couldn’t prevent Ormskirk’s First XV from putting four tries past an enthusiastic and strong Warrington opposition.

Still playing with confidence, and in the knowledge that they are through to next week’s Lancashire Plate semi-final, the travelling Green Lane men […]

Sunday 30th March marked our last home game of this season. Blackburn were the visitors and games between these 2 teams are usually very close - this was no exception. Ormskirk took an early lead with Tom James crashing over in the corner. After the break Blackburn pulled one back and it looked set to […]

With almost half the squad  having gone to bed very late the previous night, and with memories of the battering we took from them last time we met, we journeyed to Altrincham filled with a sense of dread – our guys need a good night’s kip to perform!!

Dodger had slept over at Persuader’s, who’s snoring […]

Warrington u14s 0pts – Ormskirk u14s 30*pts 
Ormskirk travelled to Warrington for this semi-final mindful of complacency. A victory earlier in the season over the same opponents could have proved a factor in affecting the way Ormskirk played – it didn’t and indeed the side continued their ruthless knockout form and destroyed a side whose game […]

Ormskirk U12s  28  Southport U12s   0
Southport U12s   0  Waterloo  U12s 19
Ormskirk U12s  28  Waterloo  U12s   0

A superb performance by the U12s means a day at the county finals tournament for the squad. Visitors Southport and Waterloo met an Ormskirk side in a very determined mood for a triangular tie.

The first game against Southport looked […]

Lancashire Trophy
ORMSKIRK 25-21 BIRCHFIELD
(Half time 13-8)
A nail-biter of a quarter-final at Green Lane on Saturday saw a jubilant Ormskirk qualify for the semi-finals of the Lancashire Trophy. Birchfield, a strong, tough outfit, had knocked Ormskirk out of the previous season’s cup so it was with relish that Kirk entered into this fixture, eager to put […]

History was made at the weekend when all four Ormskirk minis/juniors teams made it through to their respective Lancashire Cup finals.
The strength and depth of the four squads proved too much for their semi-final opponents as the U13s, U14s, U15s and U16s all made it through to finals day at Manchester RUFC on Sunday […]

With a comfortable victory over Leigh in their Lancashire Plate quarter final Ormskirk were looking to carry that form over to their semi-final against North Manchester side Sedgley Park. With midweek training going well at a cold and blustery Edge-Hill and with, finally, a full squad to pick from the coaches believed that a place […]

A triangular fixture is something we always enjoy - the next best thing to tournament !When we arrived at Altrincham Kersal they had two pitches ready to go as the home team had 2 full teams so we played them twice as well as Marple. 3 good games resulted in a 7 -1 win followed […]

The Ladies’ Lancashire Cup Final game, against Vale of Lune, due to take place on Easter Monday has been postponed.
