If you were a bullfighter, would you charge the bull?  If you were a hunter would you throw away your rifle and take on the bear with your bare hands?  If your answer to these questions is, ‘You […]

ORUFC Ladies junior players Joanna Smith (Ormskirk School) and Sarah Wallbank (Burscough Priory). Both girls played for Lancashire U17s last Sunday - Congratulations on gaining County honours!!

Just being involved in the county teams wasn’t enough for five senior and two junior Ormskirk players - they also had to notch up five tries and two man of the match awards!

Sarah Wallbank and Joanna Smith were involved with the U17s who lost 15-0 in a hard fought game.  Both Ormskirk girls played well, but Jo […]

This Sunday sees two U17s and five senior Ormskirk players in action for Lancashire as well as one senior Chester Uni / Ormskirk player in the Cheshire line up.   
This is a fantastic achievement for Ormskirk Ladies and reflects the hard work and commitment of our coaches and players over the last couple of seasons.

The games are both at […]

Tries : J Leitch (3), A O’Malley, K Johnson, R Cowan (2)

The trouble with Ormskirk Ladies is that they just don’t look like a rugby team.  Locks Gail Kendall and Cath Nixon look like schoolgirls - spindly and jejune.  Hooker Kristin Harkins, scrum half Katie Johnson and centre […]

The game promises to close, each team […]

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 […]

Fleetwood 27
Ormskirk 33
(J Leitch 3T, 4C, A O’Malley 2T)
At the tail end of last season the Ladies were trounced 74 - 0 at home by a Fleetwood side who were marching to yet another League Championship.  So when, after just 2 minutes, the Fleetwood pack set up a driving maul and bulldozed their way over […]

(J Leitch 4T, 2C, A O’Malley 1T) 
Ormskirk Ladies’ hardcore - the ones that never turn down a game of rugby - travelled to Cheshire to take on a battle hardened Northwich team.  Despite a gutsy and occassionally, brilliant display they were denied victory by a try two minutes from time.

It was a […]

Due to a cancelled league fixture the ladies team played a ten aside friendly against Chester University.  Ormskirk pleased coach Sam Botfield by playing an expansive game which the inexperienced Chester team found difficult to defend against.  Special mentions should […]
