Letter from the Captain!
Dear Players
Thanks for turning out to training and games in the 2008/09 season. Without you and fellow players committing themselves to rugby, we could not possibly compete at the level we are currently at.
However, I am sure that like us, you want ORFC to compete well and progress through the leagues and competitions that we participate in during 2009/10 and beyond.
To this end, we will start pre-season training on Wednesday 17th June at 6pm. Our intention is to train on this night and the following Wednesday’s until mid to late July at the same time. We will then start the twice weekly sessions starting on a Tuesday on a date in July to be confirmed.
Please give us your full commitment to training as this will be carried through to the match days and ultimately the success of the club as a whole. Who knows where we might be next year?
See you at pre-season training and please help us by encouraging your friends along.
JD - Captain (07886 542652)
NM - Vice Captain (07734 543209)
Note: In line with current SRU registration rules, all ORFC players (18 years and under, Internal League, 2nd XV or 1st XV), must be fully paid up members. The ORFC committee will not allow any player to play in any senior match if they are not a member for 2009/10. Please pay promptly when the request is made.

Orkney win the Kilmarnock 7's!!!
Saturday 23rd May saw the successful winners of the Orkney Rugby Sevens take on the competition at the Kilmarnock Rugby Club Sevens tournament. The travelling team consisted of James Linklater, Tom Croy, William Thompson, Dean Campbell, Kevin Sinclair, Steven Kemp, Chris Guthrie, Phil Ross, Andrew Cuddihy and guest appearance from Australian, Ross James.
On arriving at the Kilmarnock grounds the team expected to meet the Newton Stewart team in the first round. The winner of which would go through to compete for the cup and the losers through to the plate competition. Unfortunately Newton Stewart did not have the same determination as our boys from Orkney and did not appear giving Orkney a bye to the Cup competition.
In the quarterfinals and Orkney’s first game they met the home team, Kilmarnock. This was to be Orkney’s closest game resulting in a 26 – 19 win for the boys from the north. The try scorers where William Thompson in the first minute of the game, followed by Chris Guthrie, Tom Croy and Andrew Cuddihy with James Linklater converting three of them. The semi-finals saw Orkney take on Whitecraigs and make a convincing win with the final score of 33 – 12. The scorers in this game were Andrew, Tom x 2, Dean and James. James converting four of the five trys.
Having already made their mark on the Kilmarnock tournament a confident young Orkney team went into the finals determined to win against Greenock Wanderers. Orkney came out on top winning 35 – 12. The successful scorers were Chris scoring an impressive intercepting try within the first 30 seconds of the game, Andrew x 2, Tom and Dean with James converting all five trys.
The team were delighted with the win considering the teams they played against play in the Scottish Hydro Electric National Two. James Linklater reported that the Orkney team played really well and everyone was delighted when Tom was announced as player of the tournament. |
