Sunday 20th April 2008
Ormskirk Ladies travelled to Vale of Lune 10s tournament on Sunday, and didn’t let the cold and rain spoil their ambition on the pitch to keep the ball the moving.  All the players put in their all, despite several niggling injuries throughout the day, that saw several players appearing in positions that […]

ORUFC Ladies did the Club proud by reaching the Plate Final at last weekend’s Vale of Lune tournament, beating Carlisle 15-5.
Well done to everyone…..Photo to follow…………

HEATON MOOR LADIES 15 – 15 ORMSKIRK LADIES
Now their League programme has finished it seems likely that the Ladies will finish 2nd in their Division. Surely a creditable performance after winning promotion to North Challenge 1 just last season? Perhaps so, but a better yardstick would be a close examination of their draws. There […]

On Sunday 6th April the ladies played their final league game of the season away at Heaton Moor.  At the end of a very close game the score was 15 all.  This leaves Ormskirk second behind an unbeaten Darlington team.  However, third placed Fleetwood still have two games to play, and could steal 2nd place… […]

The Ladies’ Lancashire Cup Final game, against Vale of Lune, due to take place on Easter Monday has been postponed.
Our next game is at home against Northwich on Sunday 30th March 2008.

FLEETWOOD WRUFC 17 – 12 ORMSKIRK LADIES
Tom and Jerry, Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty, Adolf Hitler and the Jews – some people just can’t seem to hit it off. And so it is with Ormskirk Ladies and Fleetwood. Ever since Fleetwood played their first game against the Ladies there has been a certain edge to their […]

Sunday 24th February 2008
Fleetwood                    12
Ormskirk Ladies           22
Tries: A O’Malley, L Walker (2), J Leitch
Conversions: J Leitch
Close league rivals Ormskirk and Fleetwood met this week in the Lancashire 12-a-side Cup semi-final.  Ormskirk were without their regular centre partnership Louise Robinson and captain Emma Gander – so out stepped last week’s flankers Kate Traynor and Kayleigh McDonnell […]

Darlington 17 Ormskirk 7
On the way back from Darlington the bus driver put on a video. It was “Volcano !”, a disaster movie in every sense. In it Tommy Lee Jones attempts to stop a lava flow which wells up in the centre of Los Angeles and save the lives of his daughter and […]

Club Development
o The Chairman is attending a Lancashire Club Development seminar at LSH on 20th March
o Chairman is also […]

ORMSKIRK LADIES 26 – O LEEDS LEOS WRUFC II
Route One. That was Leo’s plan. They had a solid scrum, a good line out and bugger all imagination. The Leo’s Coaching Manual probably has three pages and was probably written by an ex-forward on three brick walls in emulsion. Page 1 - win ball. […]

ECCLES WRUFC 0 – 72 ORMSKIRK LADIES
The offer of a jug of beer from assistant coach Jonsson if the team could somehow engineer a try for lock Charlotte ‘Moose’ Doyle* in her final game for the team galvanised the Ladies into a frantic try feast. The only problem was that whenever Moose poked her head […]

ORMSKIRK LADIES 10 – 10 BLAYDON WRUFC II
If there are still some Neanderthals about who are convinced that women can’t play rugby, they’ll be sorry they missed this game. Because here, in all the turgid, muddy muddle was all the proof that they needed. Facing a team they had put five tries on in their […]

Ormskirk Ladies          26
Blaydon 2nds               0
Tries: C Rylance, E Gander, J Leitch, ?
Conversions: J Leitch (2)
Sam’s promised to write a match report this week… so in brief, it was muddy, not very pretty, and Claire’s bonus point 5th try was disallowed due to a wobbly flag!
Next game : Friendly away at Fylde, Sunday 27th January, meet […]

Sunday 13th January 2008
Ormskirk Ladies                       10
Blaydon 2nds                          10
Tries:
C Rylance, J Leitch
Girl of the Game: Jenny Leitch
On a stodgy Green Lane pitch Blaydon scored their first try quickly, leaving Ormskirk players wondering what had just happened.  The Ladies spent most of the first half in their own 22, and before the half time whistle blew they’d conceded […]

ORMSKIRK LADIES 31 – 10 HEATON MOOR WRUFC
Last season the Ladies didn’t scrummage much and played 15s less. This season it has taken time and tears to come to terms with these arcane aspects of rugby union, but on Sunday there were signs that things were finally coming together with a 5 tries to […]
