* CHANGE OF VENUE *
The 1st XV game v Hamilton Bulls will now be played at Strathaven RFC’s 3G pitch at 3pm due to flooding in Hamilton. This weekend sees all youth sections in action, with the U14 boys heading across to Thurso to play games against Caithness & Shetland while the U16s head to Aberdeen to play Grammar U16s in the Plate at 11am at Rubislaw. The girls are off to Aberdeen as well, for a Day Camp from 12-3pm at Aberdeen Wanderers on Sunday. Back at home, the U18s get things underway at Picky on Saturday as they host Jed-Thistle in their plate match on the centre pitch at 12 noon, followed by an internal game between the “Bunfighters” & “Barrow-muir” on the outfield at 3pm. The 1st XV will be hoping to continue their excellent start to the season as they head away to play Hamilton RFC at 3pm, while the spectators will be hoping it doesn’t come down to a single point, last kick of the game scenario again for the sake of their nerves! The match will be streamed live by Rohallion on his YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@rohallionorkney), which is free to watch without an account. Please ignore any links you see on social media asking you to download an app or create an account, as these are just spam. Report them, block them and move on. The game will also be shown live in the clubhouse, while the not to be missed Scotland v Ireland World Cup showdown will be live at 8pm - something for everyone this weekend! *** UPDATE - DELAYED KICK OFF ***
Please note due to a delayed flight the 1st XV game v Hillhead Jordanhill RFC will now kick off at 16:30. Consequently, the Dragons v Shetland RFC Valkyries match will be played on the outfield pitches. ———————————-- The U16s are away up to Lerwick for a Friday morning game against Shetland at Gilbertson Park at 11am. On Saturday the U18s travel to Huntly to play Moray/Huntly at the Gordon School Playing fields at 11am. Back at home, the 1st XV host Hillhead Jordanhill at Picky at 2:30pm, while the Dragons get their season underway against Shetland Valkyries at 4:30pm. Don’t forget your evening’s entertainment with Scotland v Romania in the RWC at 8pm followed by a Karaoke Night at ORFC from 9:30pm! First up on Saturday at Picky are the Under 13s & 14s at noon, playing Caithness in either individual or combined teams depending on numbers.
The internal match between the Reds & Wasps kicks off at the slightly earlier than advertised time of 14:30, which should finish in plenty of time for everyone to get into the clubhouse to watch the Senior men play Boroughmuir down in Edinburgh. The 1st XV game will be shown live from 5pm and then followed by the Rugby World Cup fixture between South Africa & Ireland to round off your evening! On Sunday, the Under 16s are in plate action against Moray/Huntly at 12:00 and the clubhouse will be open from 4pm for the Scotland v Tonga game which kicks off at 16:45. We think you can all agree he’s done a ton of work for the club and a lot of it behind the scenes and will be missed both in his coaching and DO role as well as working closely with the SRU.
They will both be missed and we wish them all the very best when the twins arrive at the start of the year. Please pass this invite on to kids, parents and other coaches and committee past and present - we look forward to seeing you all at the club on Friday evening! (They have to be in Stromness for the boat by nine, so it won’t be a late night) Watch the 1st XV take on Howe of Fife in their first home league game of the new season. Match video by Rohallion.

Get your weekend of rugby off to the perfect start as the Orkney Barbarians host the West at 6:30pm on the Picky outfield on Friday evening.
The U18s are off to Biggar on Saturday for a 14:00 kick off, while the 1st play Howe of Fife at 12:30 & the U16s are on Plate duty on Sunday before Scotland take on South Africa in the Rugby World Cup! |
