RAW 2019 | Currie Cup & Dragons v Garioch Match Reports

27/2/2019

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.

Training on back pitches suspended until weather clears

10/2/2019

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.

MATCH REPORT | Dragons v Shetland Women 24-11-18

26/11/2018

Tennent's Women's North League
Pickaquoy Infield, Saturday 24th November 2018
Orkney Dragons 27, Shetland Women 31

On Saturday 24th November the final game of the Tennent’s Women’s North League was once again the decider for top place between Orkney Dragons and island rivals Shetland Women. Orkney’s home defeat to Inverness Craig Dunain earlier in the season had left them in the precarious position of not only needing a bonus point win but also the need to prevent Shetland taking away any bonus.
