Inter County Success for Under 14s

15/6/2013

 
Click here to see a report from this match on the SRU website

Orkney and Shetland under 14’s met on Saturday 15th at Clickamin for a full 15 a-side inter county match. This was later followed by a 7’s tournament.
Picture
Captain for the day, Ali Morgan, won the toss and kicked off into a slight breeze. Orkney had some good early pressure with several decent runs deep into Shetland territory. With players having not played for over a month there was a lot of rustiness, which led to errors in all areas of the game. Shetland at this stage were capitalising on Orkneys mistakes and a good solo run saw one of their players take the ball from his own 22m line to the other end of the field for the first try. The rest of the first half saw Shetland play the better rugby and could have scored again if it hadn’t been for some excellent tackling from flankers Arron Gibson and Aran Drever.

Stromness Primary School Tag Festival

14/6/2013

 
Picture
On Friday the 14th of June the Stromness Primary 5, 6 and 7 classes participated in a Tag Rugby day having missed the festival the previous week. Taken by Bruce Ruthven and his team of coaches the classes were put into teams and given the equipment needed such as tag belts and bibs. The all-weather pitch in Stromness was the perfect venue for the event and the day was beautiful with a blue sky and white clouds. A mini non-competitive tournament was held with 8 teams playing several matches.

Stromness pupils commented;
“Hi Bruce.  We cannot thank you enough for organising and taking our tag rugby festival. We all enjoyed it and had a great time.  The round robins were excellent, a big thanks to Tyler Lewington & David Porteous for their refereeing and Liam who was helpful and kind.  Thank you again, it was a blast.”
Bruce Ruthven added;
“Stromness Primary 5-7 worked really hard in their festival and were rewarded with some quality rugby and games.  The girls especially displayed terrific passing and catching skills and were a match for any boy for pace.  I wish the best for the Primary 7 students moving into S1 and look forward to seeing the rest of the school next term.”

Peedie Schools Rugby Initiative links up with Rugby Legend

6/6/2013

 
Picture
As part of the Peedie Schools activity week coordinated by Active Schools pupils from Papay, Eday and North Ronaldsay spent the week together conducting a range of activities providing the children with many learning opportunities and enjoyable sessional coaching. On Thursday 6th June children received Tag Rugby coaching from Bruce Ruthven and played a number of ball skill exercises, running activities and tag rugby games. Bruce also organised for a Skype session with Scotland rugby legend Chris Patterson where the children had the opportunity to ask questions and speak to Chris about his playing career and current role as Scottish Rugby ambassador.

Papay Head teacher Kate Evans commented;
“They loved the day, it was an ideal size of group for them to feel comfortable and have others near their age to pitch themselves against. They also really enjoyed the VC link with Chris Patterson and were talking about it yesterday. Thanks for coming out to Papay.”
Bruce commented;
“We have had a great day out in Papay; many of the older kids have travelled into Kirkwall for the tag festivals so it was good to see them sharing their knowledge with the younger kids. They had some brilliant questions for Chris and enjoyed hearing his stories and learning about his experiences of the game.”
