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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

NORTHWICH LADIES 5 – 5 ORMSKIRK LADIES
With bats flitting between the three-quarters and badgers rooting around in the scrums the referee finally blew the whistle and allowed the teams to grope their way back through the gloom to the changing rooms. So a match scheduled to start at 2pm on a crisp autumnal afternoon finally […]

Fleetwood WRUFC 10
Tries: A O’Malley, J Leitch
World rugby was rocked to its foundations on Sunday as Ormskirk Ladies achieved what many had thought was impossible – they won a line out. Grown men wept as lock Catherine “Satan” Nixon rose majestically into the […]

Ormskirk Ladies are quite glad that match reporter Sam Botfield was not present to witness the game after the night before, because he would have written something nasty - I’ll try to be nice………

The girls were unsurprisingly a little worse for wear early Sunday afternoon, after a few small […]

LEOS LADIES II 5 – 26 ORMSKIRK LADIES
Turning over last season’s third placed team in North 2 26 – 5 on their own patch should have been a cause for celebration for the newly promoted Ormskirk Ladies. But it wasn’t. Despite the comfortable margin the game finished with a sense […]

Boarding a suitably re-inforced bus Ormskirk Ladies began their new season with a bladder threatening trip to Blaydon.  It would have been nice to go with a proven front row, but regular prop / […]

Vagabonds 60
There are probably better ways to start a season than to play a friendly against Vagabonds.  With not much else to do in the Isle of Man other than launder money and scrape motorcyclists off bridges there is plenty of time left over for rugby training.  Vagabonds WRUFC had […]

This Sunday Ormskirk Ladies take on Isle of Man Vagabonds at Green Lane.  Kick off 1.30pm. 
The team need as much support as possible, as they are without six players who have been selected for Lancashire’s game away in Northumbria.   Congratulations to Emma Gander, Cath Nixon, Cara Pendleton, Claire Rylance, Jenny Leitch and Anna O’Malley from the […]

Dear All,
After the debacle of last season’s planned Presentation Night, and having discussed the issue with various members on the Committee and around the Club, I’ve decided to go ahead with organising a do in October.
This will require your co-operation. Though a few guys have offered their support, I will need everyone to buy […]
