Orkney RFC's departing Chairman, Neil McCartney, is pulling on his running shoes on 1st September in the Glenmore 24 hour race, where he will attempt to complete 100 miles and raise funds for ​the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation:
​
You can donate to his justgiving page here: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Neil-McCartney2


Hi folks. Some of you may know that I have become a bit of a runner since I hung up my rugby boots a few years back. The distances have progressed from 3 miles to Half Marathons, full Marathons and Ultra Marathons. A month ago I ran for 62 miles round Tankerness Loch and within the following 5 weeks I ran 2 further Half Marathons and 2 further Marathons! Not bad for a 45 year old ex-prop!!

​Earlier this year, as their chosen charity, Orkney RFC raised funds for My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. As departing Chairman and after getting in touch with the Foundation I was inspired to complete my biggest running challenge to date. Please read My Story here and feel free to donate and share as you see fit.

Many thanks for your time.
Neil

  • SENIOR Players are responsible for their own registration
  • PARENTS (or Guardians) are responsible for registering YOUTH Players aged under 18

  • You will be sent a verification email upon registration - check your spam email box if you don't get it
  • The club cannot register players on the system
  • Failure to register means you will not be able to play rugby until you have done so
  • Ensure your Club Membership is up to date - details here
