Youth Rugby Roundup 28-1-18

28/1/2018

The Orkney under 18s were unable to travel across the Firth yesterday to play their much delayed game against Moray/Huntly due to the weather.
If the game didn't take place this time, the result would be decided by the toss of a coin, and Caithness U18s managed to beat Muntly 22-17

Also the U14s & U16s travelled to Invergordon today to play Ross Sutherland today.
The U14s won 40-6 while the U16s played a development game.

Committee report - January 2018

12/1/2018

At Tuesday’s ORFC Committee meeting the Committee expressed their support for any initiatives/ideas that may come forward to keep up the number of adults playing rugby and they want to support all of our teams, including youth and ladies teams, to get as many fixtures as we can.

They also expressed their desire to receive as many ideas from Club members about how to increase the numbers of people playing rugby and participating in the work of ORFC.

I have accepted the challenge to work with all of you and anyone else who is interested in discussing what would move ORFC forward in a playing sense, and I will be coming back to you over the couple of months seeking your views, ideas and comments. However, don’t hold back until you hear from me, or we meet, before giving me your ideas/comments and feel free to send me your comments and/or ideas now as I have started a catalogue of comments to produce feedback for the Committee and produce a set of recommendations for ORFC to consider acting on.
