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 […]

Ormskirk Ladies RUFC 10
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 U14s 26pts - Fleetwood U14s 24pts
The u14s won a game they should have, needed to and did, but by a margin that was a little too close for comfort. With three key forwards injured and one unavailable it was another much changed pack that took the field, but to their credit they battled […]

We want to say a huge thank-you to our squad, parents and carers for your support so far this season.
Over the last few weeks we have watched all our players progress in all areas of tag rugby, and despite playing away at Wirral with a very inexpereinced team we were able to return victorious in […]

First XV Match Report – 3rd November 2007
OLDERSHAW 8-15 ORMSKIRK (Half-time 5-5)
Ormskirk racked up two more league points by beating a strong Oldershaw team away from home on Saturday. For the third week in a row the first team squad put in a sparkling performance and held out for the victory, despite the best efforts […]

Ormskirk Ladies           0
Darlington                  21
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 […]

Widnes 3rds 17 - Ormskirk 3rds 46
27th October 2007
Ormskirk 3rds travelled to Widnes on the back of three straight league wins, and after a particularly strong performance against Wigan the previous week, were hopeful of another good win. The win they got, the performance on the other hand was less to shout about.

Ormskirk […]

Ormskirk u14 29pts - Broughton Park u14 17pts
Ormskirk won this game without playing particualrly well, but still had too much for a spirited team from Broughton Park
Indeed the visitors came to Green Lane in confident mood with 5 wins and no defeats under their belt. This was the first time the two teams had ever […]

Not so long after a tight victory against Broughton Park earlier in the season the Under 13s made the long drive to South Manchester to play them at their ground. As the match kicked off Ormskirk soon took early control with the forwards in excellent form controlling all phases of the game.

As usual Craig […]

Another amended and late arranged fixture provided the under 13’s with the opportunity to trek across to Manchester to play Aldwinians. Due to the half term break and injuries, Ormskirk travelled without ten of what is now a sizeable squad.

It was clear from the outset that Aldwinians would be a stern test for the lads. […]

ORUFC Under 7s v Tarleton - Home - 21.10.07
The under 7s made a great start to their 07/08 season when playing at home to Tarleton. We would like to say a huge thank you to Tarleton who agreed to a last minute fixture. 
We lost half our squad at the end of last season to the […]

First XV Match report – 20.10.07
Oswestry 13-25 Ormskirk (Half-time 3-13)
Ormskirk travelled to the English/Welsh border to play Oswestry for last weekend’s league fixture. The team arrived in good spirits and put on a fine display of running rugby and - more importantly - came home with a convincing win. Having been knocked out of […]

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 […]

Due to an amended fixture the under 13s found themselves travelling down the East Lancs on Sunday to play the usually well drilled and organised Leigh team. After two close games with Leigh last season, Ormskirk’s coaches were looking at this game as a guage to see how the team were progressing. Although a couple […]

Blaydon 2nds             10
Ormskirk Ladies          33
Tries : A O’Malley, C Rylance (2), E Gander, L Robinson
Conversions : J Leitch (4)
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 / […]
