Ormskirk RUFC

Very much mixed feelings for the Ladies after their trip to the Vale of Lune 10s Tournament last Sunday. Pride for qualifying for the Cup and giving a battling performance against Premier 1 hosts Vale of Lune Ladies in the semi final and dismay at losing centre Emma Gander  and hooker Lesley Kenny to injury.

Ormskirk Ladies touch rugby training begins on Tuesday 8th May at 7.30pm. 
Touch rugby is basically tag rugby without the tags!  Tackles are made by a two handed touch rather than taking a tag.  It is an enjoyable sport and an ideal way to get fit.  You don’t need any experience to join us, just enthusiasm. 
It’s […]

The team would like to thank everyone who has supported us throughout the season, especially our dedicated coaches.

This Sunday (29th) the Ladies play their final game against last year’s winners Fleetwood.  It promises to be a hard fought game, the Ladies won the away fixture by a measly 6 points.  For a chance a of winning the league title the Ladies must win the game.  Following this game the league will be […]

Sunday 4th March
Ormskirk Ladies     5
Halifax Vandals      5
Try : A O’Malley
On Sunday Liverpool Collegiate’s victory over Fleetwood knocked the Ladies off the top of Division North West 3.  However, the Ladies’ friendly against the Vandals brought them a prize arguably as valuable as three league points - self belief.  Quite simply, this was Ormskirk’s toughest game of […]

Please note that the Ladies friendly fixture against Halifax on Sunday will now kick off a 2pm.
Following our Heaton Moor game a couple of weeks ago we still remain top of the league - just …

Ormskirk Ladies         20
Tries : T Fisher (2), G Kendall, J Galbraith
A hardcore of Ormskirk Ladies were ably supported by membes of the punative Wigan WRUFC and a trio of transpennine rugby gypsies to take on Manchester on Sunday.  It was a mixed bag; a rock hard No 8 and a fearsome centre at […]

Ever since the Christmas break the ladies team have been chomping at the bit to get back on the pitch. However they have been prevented from continuing their run of good results with 3 games called off in the space of 2 weeks. 
Bolton called off on Sunday 14th January due to their waterlogged pitches.  Then Fleetwood called off […]
