We hosted Fleetwood for our first match of the new season on Sunday 4th October which was great as it gave every available player some game time. David & Joe making their debuts where fantastic but the whole team played well to open up a 24 - 0 lead by half time. Fleetwood came back strongly […]
After a highly succesful awards evening the weekend before the under 14’s took to the field for one last time this season against Northampton Boy’s Brigade Old Boys RFC who were on tour in Lancashire.With Dave Jones hard at work on the internet it was obvious from their website that this team would provide stern […]
The under 14s celebrated the end of the season with a fantastic awards evening down at Green Lane last weekend. Surely the highlight of the evening was a massive Chinese banquet enjoyed by players, coaches and families alike. Whilst not its prime consideration much needed funds were raised through a raffle,auction and various […]
A very enjoyable end of season celebration day was held on Sunday at Rock and River.
Climbing, Abseiling and Archery were all tackled with great energy. The Leap of Faith outstanding performances were Jonny Ford’s 14.6 sec record, Matthew Sloyan’s 8m 42sec tree hug and Aaron Cheung’s girly scream. In the final event of the day - […]

Many volunteers are required to make the day a success: if you would like to help […]
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 […]

Congratulations to Eddie Webster and Gavin Griffiths who represented Lancashire in the 39-17 mauling of Yorkshire at Harrogate RUFC last Sunday. A very satisfying win, especially on their “hallowed ground”.
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 […]
Sunday 29th March was the Vale tournament - an event the U10s look forward to all season. We had a tough group but after a steady start with a 2-2 draw against West Park the boys started to play with real confidence confortably beating Sefton 3 - 0 then Kirby Lonsdale 4 - 1 to progress to the […]
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 […]
Sunday 15th March was a re-arranged fixture away to Manchester. We fielded 2 evenly balanced teams (just possible from a squad of 19) as did Manchester so the format was for both Ormskirk teams to play both Manchester teams in turn on adjacent pitches with the matches running simultaneously. Manchester are a very strong club […]
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 came out of a dark period on Sunday, with a performance that was absolutely top class - they played some of the best rugby for the past two seasons as they built up a good lead, lost it and then won the game with a piece of magic.
The […]
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! Hemel had played Tarleton on Saturday and a close game had shown that the visitors had […]
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, […]
Our first outing for 2009 was a local derby away to Southport. This couldn’t have really gone any better with a convincing 7 - 3 win made possible by robust defence and superb backing up in attack to capitalise on our breaks. Kai Smith deservedly won the “top tackler” award this week but all 12 players […]
With the under 14s’ chances of qualifying for the later stages of the Lancashire Cup hanging by a thread it was vital to make use of home advantage against last year’s finalists West Park. Unfortunately late in the day the lads were told that the match would now be away and so making a tough […]
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 […]
