Caley made the stronger start with more possession and territory, with the pressure forcing Edinburgh into a defensive error, leading to Caley's first try 8 minutes in. 5-0 Caley. Edinburgh dug deep to eventually find a way through a solid Caley defence and even the scoreline 5-5 just before half time.

Falkirk, Saturday 9th March 2024 Falkirk U16 v Orkney U16 (46-19) The Orkney lads were off on their travels again, the semi-final in the Caledonia Plate. A boat trip down to Aberdeen overnight, with an early start on the road at 7.15am with a bus trip to Falkirk. A quick warm up and stretch of the legs, however this boat and bus journeys take their toll on the lads. This showed with Falkirk scoring 4 tries with one being converted in quick succession of one another. Orkney were playing some good flowing rugby and very good scrums. Michael Scarth with a quick tap penalty led to a try and a conversion from Ronan Hamilton.
The treasure hunt in Duthie park was cut short by the Aberdeen rain, but the girls enjoyed a visit of the David Welch Winter Garden instead, then headed for Dunnottar Castle as the sky cleared for some amazing views.

Play restarted and Orkney again advanced into the Huntly half, with our first try coming from the “Stronsay Express” Wilbur, making an impact playing as a crash 12 again. Conversion was missed, score 5-0 to Orkney.
