Sunday 17th March 2019 saw 39 kids from East, Kirkwall and West mini rugby sections play in the Caithness Mini Rugby Tournament. Two Primary 7 and two Primary 5 teams were created with a mixture of players from each section. The travelling coaches were impressed with the calibre of the Orkney players and the way that they all mucked in together in the different teams. Teams from Orkney, Nairn, Highland, Moray, Kinloss, Ross Sutherland and Caithness all competed at both age groups. In the older age group the Orkney Greens ran out tournament winners having won all 6 games and conceded no tries. The Orkney Stripes won 3 games, drew 1 and lost 2.

Carrick Academy, Maybole - Saturday 2nd March 2019 Carrick RFC 13, Orkney RFC 13 The Orkney boys were well up for this game and decided to play into the wind in the first half. From the off Orkney had the lion's share of the possession and territory, but some solid defence from Carrick kept the boys from scoring. Twenty minutes into the game the Orkney pressure finally paid off with quick hands from the number eight to the flanker who offloaded to Steven MacPhail on the wing and with a handoff and sidestep he touched down in the corners, Jon Tait missed the conversions.
