Conditions were fair with light rain throughout making the ball and surface greasy. The quality of both teams was evident from the start with fast dynamic play from the outset. Edinburgh were first off the mark with a converted try 9 minutes in.

Caley made the stronger start with more possession and territory, with the pressure forcing Edinburgh into a defensive error, leading to Caley's first try 8 minutes in. 5-0 Caley. Edinburgh dug deep to eventually find a way through a solid Caley defence and even the scoreline 5-5 just before half time.

Falkirk, Saturday 9th March 2024 Falkirk U16 v Orkney U16 (46-19) The Orkney lads were off on their travels again, the semi-final in the Caledonia Plate. A boat trip down to Aberdeen overnight, with an early start on the road at 7.15am with a bus trip to Falkirk. A quick warm up and stretch of the legs, however this boat and bus journeys take their toll on the lads. This showed with Falkirk scoring 4 tries with one being converted in quick succession of one another. Orkney were playing some good flowing rugby and very good scrums. Michael Scarth with a quick tap penalty led to a try and a conversion from Ronan Hamilton. |
