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.

Earlier in the season Tarleton came to Green Lane in the Lancs Challenge Cup and went away worthy 15-0 winners. Maybe they came on Sunday expecting another straightforward victory.

Fylde u13s 48pts - Ormskirk u13s 19pts
Ormskirk completed their group stage of the Lancs EFE Junior Challenge in game that was definitely a game of two halves. From the kick off, indecision and a resultant knock on saw Fylde gifted a scrum on the Ormskirk 22. Their powerful No.8 picked up and crashed over. But […]
Southport u13s 10pts - Ormskirk u13s 39pts

After a few tough encounters against powerful opponents, it was a welcome change that Ormskirk were the team dishing out a lesson on Sunday against a plucky and spirited but totally outclassed Blackburn outfit.

Fleetwood u13 7pts - Ormskirk u13 10pts
Its a long way to Fleetwood, but a nice journey back knowing you’ve won.

Tyldesley u13 29-7 Ormskirk u13
The U13s travelled to Tyldesley for a pool fixture in bouyant mood after a good win at Lymm a fortnight ago. However, after a bright start it all fell apart in a poor second half.
The opening half was end to end with big hits from both sides allied to some good […]
Always a tough encounter against a robust side that always give their all. Ormskirk travelled to Lymm and won a game with some good open rugby, the score rather flattering the home side, who although they scored two very good tries, were on the back foot for the majority of the game.
Ormskirk started brightly in a […]
The U13s travelled to Winnington Park with many changes, a couple of injuries and three unavailable. It was always going to be a tough encounter against a large opposition, both in the number of players in their squad and their size.
To lose by 5 tries to nil was disappointing due to the fact that […]
The U13s kicked off their first game of junior rugby in fine style with a 10-5 win at Aldwinians. The home side, who boasted a squad of 26 and a very vocal crowd, began in confident mood, but both the organisation of the visitors and the extremely long grass conspired against them.
With only 17 players […]
