An Orkney RFC 2nd XV team will take part in a league competition for the first time in the club’s history this weekend as they travel to the Western Isles to play Stornoway in their opening game of Arnold Clark Caledonia North Region League Division 2! The game kicks off at 3pm on Saturday at Lady Lever Park. Club President Garry Coltherd commented, “This is a fantastic milestone for the club and testament to all the hard work put in by some great people!” Meanwhile the inaugural games on the ‘Hup pitch with its newly installed posts will take place on Saturday as the U13s & 14s play host to Deeside from noon. Good luck to all teams!    As the club continues to grow, some weekends there could be up to 7 different teams playing at home! Thanks to the hard work of club members and sponsorship from local businesses, we are delighted that new rugby posts have now been installed at the St Margaret’s Hope School and we now have an additional pitch for our growing club! The new posts have been made by Scottish Sea Farms and were delivered by The Garrett Brothers. Local businesses and club members/coaches were at hand yesterday to help with installing them ready for the first rugby game being played on them this weekend. Thank you Erlend Wood, Silas Cox, Andrew Thomson, Steve Kolthammer and to everyone else involved!
