Congratulations to the U15 Orkney girls who played with Caithness this season!

Orkney eased to a win in the 52nd Orkney Rugby Sevens this afternoon, winning a hard-fought final against Peebles. The weather was kind to the popular event — a cold wind but the sun was shining — which attracted a large crowd. Sixteen sides took to the field on the day — down on the expected 19 — with just two travelling sides — losing finalists Peebles and semi-finalists on their 30th consecutive Orkney Sevens appearance, Grangemouth. Orkney player of the tournament Stephen MacPhail, Alex Kansour, Matt Jackson and James Linklater saw Orkney retain their title, winning 26-12 to leave the home side and their fans delighted. (Report courtesy of The Orcadian) The other winners on the day were Orkney Dragons - Women's Trophy; Eastionians - Pail; Auld Bulls - Bowl & Ale Stars - Plate.

The ladies arrived back home after a 0-55 loss against Stirling County. Orkney were faced with the challenge of a skilled premiership team, but held their own and played with fire until the last minute.
The Dragons are looking forward to the next round against Aberdeenshire Quines on the 23rd March. Read more about the game on the Rugby People website  Internal Rugby - East v West - Currie Cup Round 2
It was a fine day for rugby last Saturday when the two internal teams East and West took the field at Pickaquoy for what tuned into a well contested game which the West team won 39-33. The weather was in marked contrast to the first game played in Dounby on 9 February where it was cold, wet and windy and which the East won by 32-5 on a day when it when it was difficult to get good accurate handling going in such yucky conditions. As it had been agreed that the destination of the Currie Cup would be decided on the aggregate score over these two legs, the East now have the honour of holding the Currie Cup for 2019, with the aggregate scores being 65-44 in favour of the East team. Thirteen ORFC coaches had a great weekend at the UKCC Level 2: Coaching Youth & Adult Rugby course with Sinclair Patience - Scottish Rugby's Caledonia North Regional Manager
Morning folks. Just been to the Club at 8:30 and you’ll be glad to know that there is no water getting any where near the step at the containers. However, I have cleared the grill at the culvert upstream from the Club and also the grate at the back of the Club as the ditch was overlapping. The brown water is now going where it is supposed to be going. An OIC man in a van turned up at 8:50 as I was heading away! As a result of the poor state of the back pitch I would like to prohibit training on it for at least 24 to 48hrs from this point. It was very greasy in bits yesterday morning and it will be wrecked if folk go on it at this present time. Photos attached Regards Neil |
