U18s v Highland match called off

29/1/2016

 
Picture
Unfortunately Gertrude has had her wicked way this weekend, forcing the Orkney/Caithness U18 match v Highland to be postponed.
The match has been rearranged to next Saturday when hopefully the weather will be more favourable.
​
The 1st XV match v Dalziel is dependent on the ferry sailings.

As far as Kirkwall Minis & Rookies this weekend will be as follows:- 
  • Rookies same as usual Indoors at Picky 11.00 to 11.45.
  • Minis will be outdoors at Peedie Sea if the weather permits to do the postponed Jack Rendall Memorial League games Kirkwall 1 V Kirkwall 2.
  • If the weather if totally horrendous we will just do a Standard Session indoors at Picky. Either way start time 10.00 at the club.

​St Andrews & Dounby will be going ahead as usual.

Orkney and Berwick lock horns in tightly contested draw

17/1/2016

 
Picture
Orkney RFC and visitors Berwick couldn't be separated - drawing 22-22 after a hard-fought 80 minutes at a calm and frosty Pickaquoy on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors were ahead for most of the match, leading 14-12 at half time through an early try and three penalties, with Orkney's points coming via tries from Philip Ross and Steven Groat, the latter converted by James Linklater.

A Berwick try in the first five minutes of the second half made it 19-12 before David Hamilton crossed the line for Orkney to close the gap to 19-17 with half an hour left on the clock.
It was Scott Russell's try that put Orkney ahead 22-17 with little over ten minutes left.

However, Russell was off with a yellow card by the time Berwick had an opportunity to draw level, with a kickable penalty awarded inside time added on. It was slotted to make it 22-22.
The referee still had time on his watch though, and Orkney gained ground steadily up the pitch until a knock-on on the Berwick 22.
​
Back came the visitors in what spectators thought must be the final move of the match. It proved to be, but a great tackle into touch by Jon Tait halted the Berwick advance and the final whistle signalled a share of the spoils.
