Linda decided to donated to the rugby club as her husband Bob, who suffers from MND, has received support from the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. With community rugby well established within schools around the county; more youth teams than before travelling south to play rugby each weekend and the successful introduction of our “Warm up Wednesday” after school programme, the funds will be well spent! The club are extremely grateful to Linda & Tesco Kirkwall for the donation and to the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation for providing the inspiration! If you have a child who is interested in taking up rugby, bring them along to a training session or get in touch for more information. From Westray to Livingston, young to old (and some even older!) several Orkney teams are in action this weekend. First up on Saturday, the Boys U13s&14s are away in Ellon from 11am. In Westray in his testimonial match, Ken Amer’s All Blacks take on the Caithness Viking Evergreens at noon. Back in Kirkwall, both senior men & women’s teams are at Picky with the 1st XV hosting Aberdeen Grammar at 12:30 and the Dragons playing Caithness Krakens at 13:00 On Sunday, the U16s boys play Livingston in the bowl and the U14 girls are at Ross Sutherland at 12:00. Good luck to all the teams!

Match Report | 2nd XV make Orkney RFC history with first ever league game against Stornoway2/9/2024
Upon arrival, Captain Martin Harper made it clear to the players to not let the occasion get to them and to treat the night as any other to keep their game prep as close as possible to a home game. So naturally the players headed out to the pub until the early hours, making sure the nightlife of Ullapool was as similar as possible to Kirkwall.
Both are at U18 level now and look forward to their scholarship to progress their rugby and the academic year ahead
Everyone at Orkney Rugby Football Club will be following you on your next chapter and wish you both all the very best. We are all very proud of you both! |
