Ormskirk RUFC

Even though the 07/08 season is now a fast-fading memory the under 13s have continued to keep busy. On Wednesday nights there has been running sessions down at Green Lane helping to keep fitness levels up for the seaon ahead. In addition a large group of players, coaches and parents travelled to the JJB stadium  this […]

After such a succesful season there was going to be a lot of competition for the end of season awards for the under 13s and this proved to be the case at the presentation evening.
Many congratulations to the players who ended up with the following honours:-

Players player of the year: 1. Craig Ennis
                                      2. Tom Povey
                                      […]

After a long but ultimately rewarding campaign the under 13s played their last game of the season at Green Lane on Sunday. Perhaps it was tiredness creeping in or the thought of a curry later on in the day at the presentation ceremony but whatever it was the lads saved their worst display of the […]

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 […]

If ever there was a time not to play the under 13s this was it. With places up for grabs in next week’s Lancashire Plate Final, every player was keen to give of their best and impress the coaches into picking them.

Ormskirk had the unenviable task of playing the first half into a stiff breeze […]

With a comfortable victory over Leigh in their Lancashire Plate quarter final Ormskirk were looking to carry that form over to their semi-final against North Manchester side Sedgley Park. With midweek training going well at a cold and blustery Edge-Hill and with, finally, a full squad to pick from the coaches believed that a place […]

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 […]

Prior to their big cup match last weekend, the under 13’s took on old rivals Lymm in what looked to be, on paper, a very difficult match.In the last two encounters it is true to say we were given a lesson in rugby with heavy defeats of 35-0 and 49-7. To compound matters a few […]

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 […]

Having started this season with maximum points from their 3 group games in the Lancashire Cup the under 13s were keen to extend this with their next game against Bolton. Never having played against Bolton it was to be a journey into the unknown. Playing with almost a full strength line-up Ormskirk were keen and eager to […]

After last week’s cancelled game at Sedgley Park and no training for two weeks the under 13s were keen for their fixture at Waterloo to go ahead. Fortunately the Waterloo pitches were in excellent condition with no mud or standing water to be seen. The team were eager for some match practice to prepare for next […]

Ormskirk under 13s were very much looking forward to this Lancashire Cup encounter against Sefton, bolstered by the fact that for one of the first times this season they were nearly at full strength. Although just down the road in Liverpool, this was the first encounter between the two teams and so it was difficult to […]

The Minis/Juniors have organised a Christmas Disco/Party night at Green Lane clubhouse on Friday 7th December 6.30 pm onwards. Tickets are £2 each and are available from your coaches or Louise Rees contact 0777 215 7458. This should be a fun night for all the family.

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 […]
