Saturday 22 February saw the Orkney Dragons back on the road after their hard fought win the previous weekend in Kirkcaldy as part of the Sarah Beaney National Plate.

We arrived to a sunny and warm but much windier day than had been anticipated. Ready for the 12.30 pm kick off but unfortunately Irvine found their footing first and had their first try within the first 4 minutes of the game.

Youth Rugby | U18s Match reports v Gordonstoun and Ross Sutherland - Feb 2025

10/2/2025

Ross Sutherland U18s v Orkney U18s
Invergordon, Saturday 8 Feb 2025

Orkney travelled down to Invergordon on Saturday 8 Feb to play their game against Ross Sutherland but could only field a team of 12 due to player injury and work and college commitments.

Orkney started the game strong, keeping the home side in their own half for long periods of the game with there first try coming from the loose-head prop but Ross were quick to put the score back level.

With Orkney having a lot of players playing out of position the same as last week's game, it took them a minute to get into their stride. Orkney started to show a lot of good set pieces and ball handling with the halftime score being 7-26 to Orkney.
