Orkney 2nd XV travelled south for their first game of the season in a friendly vs Fraserburgh at James Ramsey Park on Saturday 11th November.

The game kicked off with Orkney kicking to Fraserburgh.

Orkney quickly took the game to Fraserburgh with some strong carries from the forward pods, resulting in Ally Amer finding a gap in the Fraserburgh defence scoring Orkney’s first try which was comfortably converted by Ryan Mooney.
