Ormskirk Ladies began 2008 in style, with a resounding win away at Eccles in the first round of the cup. The Lancashire […]

In the 6th round of the group stages of The Lancashire Cup, Ormskirk made their way around the M60 to face their old foes Broughton Park still smarting from their defeat to us in last season’s semi-final. With recent games being so tight a close encounter was envisaged with the added bonus that the winner […]

ORMSKIRK 13-19 HUTTON
Despite being a friendly fixture, the local proximity of these teams meant Saturday’s match at Green Lane was a tight, hard fought local derby, played in good spirits.

Ormskirk looked to take advantage earlier on and arguably played their best rugby throughout much of the first half. Forwards looked strong, Ben Davies […]

Vale of Lune 22 Ormskirk 2nd XV 10
Liverpool St Helens 4ths 46 Ormskirk 3rd XV 22
The Second XV had a disappointing time of it in the wilds of Lancaster. Despite battering Vale at Green Lane, the home team put up a much better fight of it this time round. Very strong winds and […]

‘2000 AND 8 TRIES!’
Ormskirk 59-0 Oldershaw (Half-time 17-0)
The new year got off to a bang on Saturday when Ormskirk’s first team put in the performance they have been threatening with for some time. Unfortunately for Oldershaw, they were to be on the wrong end of the whipping - but after a glorious afternoon at HQ […]

Finally the sun came out, the pitch was relatively dry and our match went ahead. Despite recent cancellations the whole sqaud were on form today. Tagging has improved, as has holding the line, so well done to everyone.
West Park played really well but found us much too strong in defence during the first match, which we […]

Lancashire Plate 2nd Round
Ormskirk marched into the Quarter finals of the Lancashire plate with a strong display against fellow league rivals Sefton to bring an early Christmas present for not only themselves for disgruntled Coach Lawrie ‘PH’Sanchez. After a bad day at the office at Southport last […]

First XV Match Report – 15.12.07
SOUTPORT 16-0 ORMSKIRK
Having beaten Southport earlier in the season Ormskirk were in a confident mood going into this fixture at Waterloo Road. Hopes were dashed however, when the home team put on a display of strong running and dominated the game in terms of possession, ultimately thwarting the Green […]

Waterloo u14s 31pts - Ormskirk u14s 14pts
Ormskirk travelled to arguably the best team in Lancashire at their age group and came away with a very creditable performance with some excellent individual highlights but a fantastic team spirit and never-give-up attitude.

Waterloo are a very good team, possessing some star players and a wealth of talent throughout […]

Match report – 1st December 2007
Ormskirk 4th XV 10 – 26 Aspull 2nd XV
Like their 1st and 2nd team counterparts Ormskirk 4th team faced the challenge of tackling the top team in their league. Allied to this they were also facing a 2nd team whose 1st XV play a division higher than Ormskirk’s […]

First XV Match Report – 01.12.07
ORMSKIRK 10-16 DUKINFIELD (Half-time 7-7)
Top of the table Dukinfield visited Green Lane on Saturday, probably expecting an easy win for their league campaign but a gutsy performance from the Gingerbread Men ensured the league leaders had to give it there all to secure the points.

With a huge pack it was […]

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 […]

Fourth XV Match Report – 24.11.07
Clitheroe 2nd XV 10 – 24 Ormskirk 4th XV
As Ormskirk’s travelling band of merry men ventured forth to what is normally a wet and windy encounter with Clitheroe’s second team they commented on the prospect that the sun was trying to break through and they might for once […]

First XV Match report – 24.11.07
ORRELL ANVILS 11-5 ORMSKIRK (Half time 5-5)
Despite the atrocious conditions on Saturday both Orrell Anvils and Ormskirk contributed to a good game of rugby which saw a bit of everything. The wind and rain didn’t invite a running game but Orrell made clear their ambition to take the ball to […]

Third XV Match Report – 17th November 2007
Ormskirk 29 V Hope Valley 12
Ormskirk keep well away from the Edge
On a cold dank day, Ormskirk came away with another ‘W’, although most purists would agree that it wasn’t the display of running Rugby that the mass crowd has come to expect from the Thirds. Indeed […]

Aldwinians u14s 31pts - Ormskirk u14s 5pts
Travelling to the freezing wastes of Audenshaw with 5 of the first choice pack - and 8 players in total unavailable due to injury and sickness - was always going to be a tough challenge. The home side - bouyed on by some thumping victories and an enthusiastic crowd - […]

Ormskirk 3rd XV 45 V Carrington 2nd’s 5
After losing for the first time in a little over a month against a strong LSH outfit the previous weekend, skipper Ian Critchley was been looking for a much improved performance against Carrington, who belie their lowly status with an attitude few teams across the leagues could match. […]

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 […]

Ormskirk u14 24pts - Warrington u14 8pts
Ormskirk won their fourth on the trot and welcomed two more additions to the growing squad, against a spirited side from Warrington in the first fixture between the two sides. Warrington came to play rugby and did for most of the game, with a set of backs that handled […]

KIRK WIN LOCAL DERBY – 10th November 2007
Ormskirk 10-6 Southport (Half-time 7-3)
Ormskirk clinched the honours in the local rugby derby by beating Southport at Green Lane on Saturday. A closely fought, tough battle on a windy day saw both teams have their fair share of possession but the hard work from Ormskirk’s pack guaranteed another […]
