Match Report | Orkney v Hillfoots 28-9-19

30/9/2019

Tennent's Caledonia Regional League Division 1
Pickaquoy - Saturday 28th September 2019
Orkney RFC 102, Hillfoots RFC 5


On Saturday 28th September Hillfoots rugby made the long trip to Orkney for this Caledonia regional league fixture.
Orkney were keen to continue their winning start to the season. However, the previous weekends game had seen long term injuries picked up by two regular forwards and with other players unavailable it was testament to this year’s squad that Orkney still fielded a strong squad. Orkney started the game with four props and a hooker in the pack, this limited the lineout options a wee bit but certainly beefed up the scrum and maul!

Also making a welcome return to Orkney rugby was William Thomson who had until recently been playing with Watsonians in Edinburgh. His experience and knowledge of the game should assist with the development of the current squad, especially in the backline.
Weather conditions for the game were perfect; a slight breeze and it would remain dry for the game.

Match Report | U14s v Caithness Picky 29-9-19

30/9/2019

 
A squad of 23 Under 14s welcome Caithness for the return fixture from last week.  Caithness has 6 players so a game of 15 v 14 was agreed with Orkney having 15 for the first quarter and then 14 for the remaining quarters. Players from Orkney moved across and over the whole game everyone played at least once for Caithness.

The first quarter was played with Orkney on top for most of the 15 minutes with some good link play between the players. The first score came after some good work from Alfie Copland followed by an Aiden Cooper break and the ball worked to Brogan Russell to score.

23/9/2019

 
The Orkney RFC Mini sections from the East, Kirkwall and West gathered on the training pitch at the back of the Clubhouse on Saturday 21st September for the annual Kirkwall Mini’s Tournament. 
The weather was fantastic with not a cloud in the sky and the pitch conditions were also dry underfoot. In total there were around 80 girls and boys taking part.

There were three Primary 4/5 squads, one from East, Kirkwall and West and they all played a couple of matches each.  This was the first time that the Primary 4 players have played in a full tournament with contact and none of them looked out of place.
