Match Report | Caithness v Orkney 8-12-18

10/12/2018

Tennent's National League Division 3
Millbank,Thurso - Saturday 8th November 2018
Caithness RFC 36, Orkney RFC 16

Caithness had the upper hand in the scrum in the early stages and used this to great affect to put them into a fourteen point lead.
The solid Orkney defence was holding the home team at bay so their number ten used the wind advantage to kick the ball in behind, keeping Orkney pinned back in their twenty two.

Under pressure, Orkney gave away two penalties on the five meter line, Caithness turned down the kicking opportunity and went for the scrum instead.
The scrum half went left from the first one and scored near the posts, the second try was scored by the number eight after a push over scrum.
