Four Orkney RFC players selected for Caledonia Saltires at the Academy Festivals - 26 & 27 July25/7/2024
Four Orkney U16 & U17 boys have been selected to play for Caledonia Saltires at this weekend’s Academy Festival games in Motherwell & Stirling.
The U17 Caledonia team is playing Glasgow on Friday 26th July at Ravenscraig in Motherwell with a 12.30pm KO. Michael Scarth and Ronan Hamilton are in the squad and both in the starting 15 with Michael Scarth captaining the side. The U16 Caledonia Saltires are playing Edinburgh on Saturday 27th July at Stirling County Rugby Club with a 12pm KO. Owen Spence and Balfour Norquoy are both selected for the squad and in the starting line up. Well done lads and good luck! It’s great to see all your hard work pay off!
After seeing the Orkney Dragons host the Stornoway Ladies on TV, he thought, “Where better for them to end up?” and contacted Dragons captain, Emma Staunton, to see if she would like them as a donation to the club.
The offer was very gratefully accepted and Richard was able to hand over the pieces to Emma on a trip to Orkney to deliver a boat. Huge thanks to Robin & Richard, the Maeshowe Dragons will soon take pride of place in the clubhouse!
It was inaugurated two years ago in memory of former Green Alexander Mill who died suddenly on his farm at Achscrabster, near Westfield three years ago and has expanded this year to include a two day programme of diverse social, sporting and agricultural activities.
Thankfully this was the only disaster of the weekend. On the plus side Simpson has twenty patties to get through.
