YOUTH RUGBY Match Report | Orkney U14 v Caithness U14 18-11-18

28/11/2018

Caithness came over to play the return fixture with Orkney and as they only had 8 players, 7 member of the Orkney side went over to play for them. These 7 players were rotated every 20 minutes as the game was played over 3 x 20 minute periods.

Caithness kicked off and Orkney worked the ball into space and Travis Davis scored the first try of the day. Aiden Cooper converted to give a 7-0 lead.

Caithness pressurised the Orkney defence but strong defending from the home side saw them hold out. It was then Orkney’s turn to attack and some strong team work enabled Isaac Deerness top score a try. Oscar Payne converted to make it 14-0. Orkney kept up the strong attacking and scored again this time through Jason Scott and Oscar converted to make it 21-0 as the first 20 minutes came to an end.

SCRUMS Registration – DEADLINE EXTENDED

25/10/2018

Thanks to all who have registered so far in SCRUMS - the deadline has been extended by 2 weeks until Wednesday 14th November 2018.

To keep in line with the new GDPR regulations, any person not registered by the deadline above, whose details were transferred over from the old data management system, will be deleted from SCRUMS. If this occurs, player history data will be lost and the individual will need to register as a new player.

From 15th November 2018 onwards, any player who is not registered in SCRUMS will not be eligible to take part in National Competitions and must not play until their registration is complete.

Registration of players not only allows for their participation in national competitions and selection on teamsheets, it also means that serious injury reports can be submitted through the new portal on SCRUMS and allows any players who have been cleared to play senior rugby to be correctly recorded. For these reasons, it is therefore vital that registration in SCRUMS takes place in the coming days.

Please share this message with parents and guardians who are required to register players under the age of 18.

For further info, please contact Olga Burton, or the SCRUMS team at scrums@sru.org.uk.
