Hard played draw in tough conditions for Dragons

8/10/2018

Tennent's Women's North League
Lerwick, Sunday 7th October 2018
Shetland Women 5, Orkney Dragons 5

Orkney Dragons took on Shetland Women in Lerwick this Sunday in the Tennant’s Women’s North League. To describe the weather as challenging would be an understatement as conditions verged on diabolical at times. The high winds and torrential rain were set to dictate the style of play for both teams. Orkney had travelled with their new training tops sponsored by WB Sutherlands, which some of the ladies chose to wear under their strips to protect them from the worst of the weather, while the fresh legs on the bench were kept cosy in the new sub jackets sponsored by Highland Park. Both are most welcome additions to the kit this season.

Match Report: Dragons v Banff Ladies 29-9-18

2/10/2018

Tennent's Women's North League
Banff, Saturday 29th September 2018
Banff RFC 10, Orkney Dragons 39

Orkney Dragons made their first away trip of the Tennent’s Women’s North League to Banff RFC. On a sunny but blustery day at Duff House Gardens the Dragons were keen to show improvements from their last game against Inverness Craig Dunain.

It was clear from the outset that Banff, bolstered by players from their neighbouring teams Peterhead and Fraserburgh, were going to be tougher opposition than in previous encounters. Stacey Tualasea opened the scoring after a well timed pop from Orkney 9 Charlene Nicol and it wasn’t long before she was over the white wash again for her second try built from a sustained Orkney forwards attack.
