For our last competitive outing of this season we took all available players (16) to the annual Hoylake 7s. Divided into 2 teams of equal ability the idea was for everybody to get in plently of rugby. The A team failed to progress from their very tough group but the B team topped their group […]
Sunday 30th March marked our last home game of this season. Blackburn were the visitors and games between these 2 teams are usually very close - this was no exception. Ormskirk took an early lead with Tom James crashing over in the corner. After the break Blackburn pulled one back and it looked set to […]
A triangular fixture is something we always enjoy - the next best thing to tournament !When we arrived at Altrincham Kersal they had two pitches ready to go as the home team had 2 full teams so we played them twice as well as Marple. 3 good games resulted in a 7 -1 win followed […]
We made the trip to Vale expecting just to play them but got a pleasant surprise as Widnes were there too to make it a triangle. A format of three 30 minute games was decided upon so as to make the long journeys wortwhile.
First up was Ormskirk v Vale a fiercely contested battle on a […]
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 […]
After losing 2-1 to West Park in the first game of 2008 the under 9s were determined to get back to winning ways for the home match against Collegiate on January 20th. Both teams played very good rugby in challenging conditions with Ormskirk eventually running out 4-0 winners. Guest coach Hamish picked out James Lang for […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
Unfortunately our pool was reduced to 3 teams by the abscence of Huddersfield but we started brightly enough with a solid 2 - 1 victory over Rochdale followed by a 0 - 3 loss to an in-form Widnes team. Runner up in the pool gave us a semi final against Manchester who beat us 0 - 3 […]
