On Sunday 6th of October, 20 players of the growing girls section will be heading off to Caithness for a day of rugby. U14s, playing 7-aside in the great North Challenge, will once again meet the Lochaber and Highlands teams, for the 3rd time in the season, and aim to take the lead in the overall table. The U16s and U18s on the other hand, are lending their talent to the Caithness teams in their respective national leagues, taking on Highlands and Stirling County on the Caithness grass. If you find yourselves in the Thurso area this Sunday, head to Caithness RfC to support the girls in red and those in green. T.C.

Shetland were nearly in for a try, but strong tackling kept them out. Orkney were having to tackle and defend hard to keep Shetland out.
Linda decided to donated to the rugby club as her husband Bob, who suffers from MND, has received support from the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. With community rugby well established within schools around the county; more youth teams than before travelling south to play rugby each weekend and the successful introduction of our “Warm up Wednesday” after school programme, the funds will be well spent! The club are extremely grateful to Linda & Tesco Kirkwall for the donation and to the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation for providing the inspiration! If you have a child who is interested in taking up rugby, bring them along to a training session or get in touch for more information. From Westray to Livingston, young to old (and some even older!) several Orkney teams are in action this weekend. First up on Saturday, the Boys U13s&14s are away in Ellon from 11am. In Westray in his testimonial match, Ken Amer’s All Blacks take on the Caithness Viking Evergreens at noon. Back in Kirkwall, both senior men & women’s teams are at Picky with the 1st XV hosting Aberdeen Grammar at 12:30 and the Dragons playing Caithness Krakens at 13:00 On Sunday, the U16s boys play Livingston in the bowl and the U14 girls are at Ross Sutherland at 12:00. Good luck to all the teams!       What's On: 23-29 September Monday, 23rd September
