Ormskirk RUFC

This was a game that the under 13s were looking forward to as it was against a team who are in The Lancashire Cup Final and would give everyone - coaches, players and parents a good idea of where we stood, in rugby terms, against one of the best outfits in the county. A […]

After the euphoria of last weekend’s historic Lancashire Plate win it was back to earth this week for the visit of our new friends from Cheshire, Sandbach R.U.F.C.. This game replaced the original game against Blackburn and would certainly test the lads as we already knew of the quality of the Sandbach team from earlier […]

The under 13s travelled to Manchester Rugby Club confident that if they gave their best then they could win their Plate final. After looking at  recent Rochdale results the general feeling was that they would be a hard team to beat and only a committed performance by all the players would land them the […]

With almost half the squad  having gone to bed very late the previous night, and with memories of the battering we took from them last time we met, we journeyed to Altrincham filled with a sense of dread – our guys need a good night’s kip to perform!!

Dodger had slept over at Persuader’s, who’s snoring […]

After the disapointment of going out of the Lancashire Cup the under 13s were keen to put up a good showing in the plate quarter final against old rivals Leigh. The coaches were forced into several changes to their starting line-up after several players were unavailable due to illness and disciplinary reasons. This gave the […]

Last weekend saw the under 13s play Collegiate at home as the sole guests of ORUFC mini/junior section. As an added bonus the lads played on the bigger 1st team pitch although there was some disappointment that the opposition turned up 3 players short so we had to ‘loan’ players to ensure a full […]

After last week’s disappointing defeat by Aldwinians in The Lancashire Cup the under 13s could not have faced a tougher fixture than Sandbach who recently defeated the same team by over 50 points! However the coaches were in a bullish mood believing that the lads in the squad could give a good account of themselves if […]

The day of reckoning finally arrived with this last group game of the Lancashire Cup with both Ormskirk and Aldwinians needing to win to progress to the quarter final stage. Ormskirk suffered an early season defeat away at Aldwinians but played with a weakened team and so not a lot could be read into that game.

Ormskirk […]

Prior to the Under 13s Lancashire Cup defeat at Broughton Park they took on local rivals Tarleton in a New Year’s friendly.The lads were keen for action after being warmed up by the Sale Sharks and an agreement was made to play 3 twenty minute sessions.

The game kicked off with Ormskirk almost immediately in the […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

With Littleborough crying off from this week’s Lancashire Cup game it allowed a friendly fixture to be played against Broughton Park who were eager to wipe out the memory of their defeat to Ormskirk in last season’s Lancashire Cup semi-final. With Ormskirk having a large squad including several newcomers Broughton Park’s coaches graciously agreed to […]

After a succesful opening fixture against New Brighton last week, Ormskirk were looking forward to playing old rivals Waterloo in the first fixture of this season’s Lancashire Cup. As usual the coaching staff were forced into further changes this week due to an injury to last season’s player of the year Craig Ennis and the unavailability of […]

After all the excitement of getting to last seasons Lancashire Trophy Final, Ormskirk were looking forward to the start of a new season with renewed confidence and vigour .

As usual Ormskirk were suffering from early absentees including second rower Marcus Rylance who is likely to be out for a few weeks with a broken […]

After qualifying second from their pool of six, Ormskirk  were looking forward to playing in the inaugural Lancashire under 12s trophy at Liverpool St Helens over the weekend.
