Tomorrow's 1st XV league match away against Strathmore has been called off due to the frost
![]() BT Caledonia League Division 1 Pickaquoy Infield - Saturday, 17 January 2015 Orkney RFC 89, Ellon RFC 0 Eight tries in the first half and seven in the second saw Orkney RFC beat Ellon comprehensively at a wintry Pickaquoy on Saturday. The win sent the home side top of Caledonia League Division 1 again, with the top-two clash between Glenrothes and Gordonians joining the remainder of the fixtures in the division as victims of the weather. With their match kicking off at 11.30am - to fit in with Ellon's return flight south - Orkney had secured their try bonus before we even made it into the afternoon. Phil Ross was over for the first of his three tries inside the first minute, converted by James Linklater for an early 7-0 lead. Although Orkney's kicker had a few frustrating conversion attempts he added a further six during the match. BT Caledonia League Division 1
Pickaquoy infield, Saturday, January 17 Orkney v Ellon Orkney RFC are due to get their 2015 campaign under way as they host Ellon at Pickaquoy on Saturday with an 11.30am kick-off to allow the Aberdeenshire side to fly off after the match. This Saturday's fixture, which pits the third placed home side against visitors who are propping up the table, comes after a blank weekend when bad weather stopped Orkney travelling down to play Highland. While Orkney are on 39 points, with Glenrothes on 42 and Gordonians on 41, the top two are due to meet on Saturday afternoon so any kind of win for Orkney should see them climb at least a place. That said, Ellon will be focussed on revenge for a 54-7 home defeat at the hands of Orkney in November. As a result of the poor weather forecast, it has been decided that the KIRKWALL Mini Rugby training from 10:00 to 11:30 and the Rookie training from 11:00 to noon on Saturday the 10thJanuary is CANCELLED.
It will restart on Saturday the 17th January at the usual times at the Rugby Club. Please ensure that your children take suitable indoor and outdoor clothing and footwear on the 17th and every week there on. Many thanks Kirkwall Coaching Team |
