Calcutta Cup coming to Orkney!

10/6/2018

TOUCH RUGBY & CALCUTTA CUP VISIT
Thursday 14th June 2018
6 - 8pm at ORFC

The Calcutta Cup is coming to Orkney Rugby Club!
The historic cup, won by Scotland in February, will be in the county on Thursday 14th June and after visiting schools in Stromness & Kirkwall it'll be on display at Orkney RFC.

Alongside this visit we are hosting a touch rugby come and try session open to everyone from 6-8pm.

Touch is a game that can be played by anyone of any age and the teams can be mixed abilities, mixed age groups and mixed genders so anyone who fancies a game of touch come along to the club on Thursday night.
The games will be on the pitches behind and around the rugby club and all folk have to come along with is any sports playing gear (colours and styles don’t matters as we sort teams out on the night), and suitable footwear – boots, trainers or some other sporting footwear.

You will also have the chance to get a picture with the cup itself.
