Lucky Golden Token nets a £5000 bonanza for the Rugby Club!

22/9/2024

The results on the pitch may not have gone the right way yesterday, but Orkney RFC was definitely a winner off the field with a £5000 bonanza after a Golden Token find at Tesco!

Linda Ross found the winning token as part of Tesco’s Stronger Starts, Golden Grants campaign where the winner gets to chose one community organisation from the three represented in-store to receive the money.

Linda decided to donated to the rugby club as her husband Bob, who suffers from MND, has received support from the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.

With community rugby well established within schools around the county; more youth teams than before travelling south to play rugby each weekend and the successful introduction of our “Warm up Wednesday” after school programme, the funds will be well spent!

The club are extremely grateful to Linda & Tesco Kirkwall for the donation and to the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation for providing the inspiration!

If you have a child who is interested in taking up rugby, bring them along to a training session or get in touch for more information.
