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.

MATCH REPORT - Under 14s Away v Caithness 23-9-18

24/9/2018

Under 14 Rugby
Thurso, Sunday 23rd September 2018
Caithness U14s 50, Orkney U14s 59

Orkney Under 14’s met at the Hope at 7.15am to head to off for their 3rd away match in a row with the short hop to Thurso to play Caithness. A squad of 25 players headed over and with Caithness short of players the squad was rotated to provide enough players for a full match to be played. The match was played over 2 halves of 30 minutes each.

Orkney started well and a good run worked by the backs resulted in Oscar Payne going close and being brought down near the line. The forwards worked the ball back and Travis Davis made a good run in for the first score which was converted for a 7 – 0 lead to Orkney.
