With a full squad, on a glorious spring morning, the Under 7s were hoping to notch up yet another victory against local side Tarleton. Alas this was not to be. From the start, a vastly improved Tarleton were on the ball and at times left us standing. Ormskirk players seemed half asleep and just did […]
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 […]
Sunday the 27th was an away match at Lymm, although the game was played at Moore RUFC. As always the Lymm coaches made us really welcome and both teams payed some decent rugby with Ormskirk coming out on top by 4 tries to nil as a result of sustained superior tackling. From many worthy candidates […]
The under 7s travelled to Lymm with determination and courage despite memories of last year’s thrashing. Lymm are an incredibly strong, competitive and driven side, however Ormskirk’s mighty gang of boys and girls were ready for the challenge. Congratulations to you all for your excellent performance thoughout the morning (Nadia, Alex L, Alex G, Paul, Jack, […]
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 […]
We were delighted to play against local Liverpool side Collegiate. Well done to both sides for their fair play and sportsmanship.
Ormskirk are still poor at tagging (please attend this Wednesday’s training session if possible, as tagging will be the focus). Attacking remains our stongest skill, however we are conceding far too many tries.
Man of […]
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 […]
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 […]
Our last game of 2007 was at home to Waterloo on the 9th December. A communication breakdown at their end meant that only 7 Waterloo players arrived at Green Lane so to permit 9 a side rugby 2 Ormskirk players sportingly volunteered to play for them - many thanks to Matthew Redding and Tom James for […]
Manchester u14s 25pts - Merseyside u14s 40pts
Merseyside beat Manchester in the first of their two district games last night at Broughton Park with 5 Ormskirk boys performing well.
Eddie Webster at open side and Gavin Griffiths at inside centre both scored good tries. Together with Aidan Charlton who played in the second row, Dan Bailie (full back […]
We were very keen to do well in this away fixture as Widnes had narrowly beaten us twice in tournaments earlier this season. Pre-match discussions determined a format of 3 15-minute periods to give both sets of players plently of rugby. Widnes scored first then great defence from both sides meant that there was no […]
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 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 […]
Following the encouraging performances at the recent Littleborough and Manchester tournaments, the first fixture of the season could not have produced a better result. In densely foggy conditions that were better suited to a Jack the Ripper film than playing rugby, the under 11s took on a strong, well organised Wirral squad and secured a […]
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 […]
Our first away match of the season was to Wirral on the 4th November who we have never played against before today. Their facilities are superb, they made us very welome and the thick fog begun to lift just prior to kick off leaving very good conditions for playing rugby. Ormskirk scored from the first play […]
