2020 Rugby Sevens Postponed

20/3/2020

Orkney Builders (Contractors) Ltd 7s

Orkney Rugby Football Club regret to announce that they will be postponing this year’s Sevens which were due to be held on the weekend of the second of May.

We have taken this action although there is still no announcement from the SRU as to what happens to Rugby after the 29th of this month. The club officials in conjunction with the sponsor felt that this was the responsible thing to do for health and safety in light of the numbers who normally attend this event. We also had a record number of teams showing interest to attend from south and this decision was made to stop unnecessary costs being incurred by them for travel and accommodation.

We're here to help!

Orkney Dragons Secure Home Draw Quarter Final

4/3/2020

On Saturday 29th February the Orkney Dragons finished the pool stage of the National Bowl against Midlands Ladies Development Team- a newly formed team from Perthshire and Dunfermline RFC. After a visit from Storm Jorge the conditions underfoot could politely be called a quagmire but thankfully the rain had abated and sun made an appearance.
Before the action began a minutes silence was observed in memory of Perthshire RFC Captain Adam Pattinson.

Midlands were quick to set the intensity of the game proving they should not be underestimated with some good hard runs and quick off loading they pressured Orkney immediately. The ball was soon slick with mud, as were the players, and it proved tricky control.

Both senior teams in action at home this weekend

28/2/2020

Please Note:

A minute’s silence will be observed prior to kick-off of the 1st XV v Dunfermline match in memory of Adam Pattinson from Perthshire RFC who tragically passed away on Friday.

You wait ages for a rugby game, then 2 come along at once!

ORFC supporters are spoiled for choice this Saturday with the Dragons taking on Midlands Development squad at KGS at 1pm, while the men host Dunfermline at Picky.

Round off your day with beer pong in the club from 6pm.
