The girls Evolution Series Event on Saturday 16th of March was a success with three club traveling and over 50 girls playing rugby under the Orkney sun.
Deeside RFC, Moray RFC and Lochaber RFC made the trip north with great numbers of girls from P6 to u18s to join the Orkney girls in a day of mix game and development, the palm of the stronger squad going to Lochaber with 24 girls making the trip!
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.
The treasure hunt in Duthie park was cut short by the Aberdeen rain, but the girls enjoyed a visit of the David Welch Winter Garden instead, then headed for Dunnottar Castle as the sky cleared for some amazing views.
Play restarted and Orkney again advanced into the Huntly half, with our first try coming from the “Stronsay Express” Wilbur, making an impact playing as a crash 12 again. Conversion was missed, score 5-0 to Orkney.
RESULTS:
The U14s get an excellent win on the road while the scoreline in Falkirk belied a great performance by the U16s and the 1st XV progress to Round 2 of the cup against Lasswade after a brilliant home win!… Huntly 24-59 U14s Falkirk 46-19 U16s 1st XV 46-14 Aberdeen Grammar … and in the all import game, the Wasps beat the Ba bas 34-32 Orkney started strongly keeping the ball showing good pods and with good support play. Caithness had a scrum on their 5metre line, but squint feed gave a penalty to Orkney,
