With a slightly disappointing season behind them, the Under 14s attended the Aldwinians Tournament boasting the best teams in Lancashire bar Aldwinians themselves and Preston who were competing for The Lancashire Cup today.To make matters more difficult, five regulars were absent due to injury and other commitments and even on the day another player cried […]

Thanks to a lot of hard work behind the scenes the under 14s were lucky enough to go on tour a couple of weeks ago to the beautiful surroundings of the Independent School, Worksop College.

On the Friday night two mini-buses set off from Green Lane waved off by parents no doubt planning a quiet, restful […]

Ormskirk u15s  26pts - Warrington u15s  7pts
This was a repeat of last year’s semi-final, but that’s where any similarity finished. It was a great game with both sides giving their all, no quarter asked or given, but still played in a very sporting fashion. Warrington arrived with confidence and this season have made a number […]

Ormskirk u15  37*pts  -  Southport u15  7pts
Ormskirk had to travel to Waterloo Road, Southport for this home quarter final match due to the Southport side having to kick off earlier than had been planned. It didn’t make any difference as the “home” side had an enjoyable morning at the seaside in a very one-sided match. […]

Ormskirk u15s  33pts - Altrincham u15s   26pts

Ormskirk travelled to West Lancashire’s Northern parishes this weekend to assist Tarleton with hosting Hemel Hempstead(Camelot)RFC who had travelled to the region to get away from the snow and to understandably get the chance to play some quality rugby!

After all the freezing weather of late it was good to see an overnight rise in temperatures which meant that the local derby against Tarleton could go ahead. Ormskirk travelled with an almost full squad  keen to get back to winning ways after a disappointing end to 2008. After some recent excellent victories, including Widnes, […]

On Remembrance Sunday, the Under 14s travelled down to Stockport for a late re-arranged match against their A team known locally as Stockport Storm. Owing to their B team playing first and a respectful minute’s silence the kick-off was delayed to 11.30. Due to various parades and injury/sickness Ormskirk travelled with a much reduced […]

West Park welcomed us to their Annual Tournament last Sunday and having been squeezed out of the semi finals by one try at the last tournament, we were determined to improve on our performance.

Unfortunately some of the children seemed to be half asleep for the first game against Macclesfield (who beat us in the semis […]

The under 14s travelled down to Aigburth cricket ground last weekend for their fixture against Liverpool Collegiate. The sun was shining although the pitch was a little soft.

The game […]

Despite valiant efforts all round, it was not to be the Under 8’s day! In a tough group they lost the first game to an aggressive Lymm, won the second against Widnes and in the deciding third game, lost by one try to Blackburn. Had our troopers won this last game they would have made […]

Thanks to our sponsors DIRECT ACCIDENT, the under 8s squad looked a million dollars in their new kit, and they gave a performance to match.

 
The ground was very soggy but our little troopers battled on without too many mud dives! All three games were played in true sporting spirit. Our teams excelled themselves, demonstrating running […]

For the second match of the season the under 14s were on their travels to Bolton, last season’s Lancashire Vase winners. Having beaten them in the league section of the cup last year they were keen to settle some scores on their own ground.

The game started tentatively with Bolton securing and maintaining some good early […]

The U15s started the new season in ruthless fashion as they totally destroyed a plucky Southport outfit. Things were a understandably a bit rusty to begin with, but after 5 minutes they crossed for the first of 10 tries after a good forward charge from a penalty saw the ball fed well to the backs. […]
