Good luck to all the Orkney RFC teams in action this weekend! Both senior games will be livestreamed on YouTube, with the 1st XV game being shown on Allan Glens channel: https://youtube.com/@allanglensrfc While the 2nd XV match will be shown by Rohallion Orkney: https://youtube.com/@rohallionorkney
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. From Westray to Livingston, young to old (and some even older!) several Orkney teams are in action this weekend. First up on Saturday, the Boys U13s&14s are away in Ellon from 11am. In Westray in his testimonial match, Ken Amer’s All Blacks take on the Caithness Viking Evergreens at noon. Back in Kirkwall, both senior men & women’s teams are at Picky with the 1st XV hosting Aberdeen Grammar at 12:30 and the Dragons playing Caithness Krakens at 13:00 On Sunday, the U16s boys play Livingston in the bowl and the U14 girls are at Ross Sutherland at 12:00. Good luck to all the teams!      
Players / parents are reminded that they must also update their SCRUMS registration in addition to completing a membership form as well as paying membership fees before players are eligible to play rugby.
Also, please ensure that any EMERGENCY CONTACT NUMBERS in the SCRUMS system are up to date Our youth teams are ready to represent the club away this weekend! • Our newly formed U14 Girls squad are away to Lochaber in their first official league fixture. • Playing for Caithness U16s against Dundee RFC this weekend we have: Katherine Baillie, Alaina Wishart, Dana Nicolson and Alissa Omand. • Cailynn Williamson, Emma Muir and Anne Smith kick off their first U18 appearances for Caithness against Cambuslang RFC (away). • The U18s are on the road before supporting the U16 boys away! Having 5 different age groups/sections representing this weekend is a result of the hard work and dedication of the players and coaches - the future of ORFC is looking bright!   
Both are at U18 level now and look forward to their scholarship to progress their rugby and the academic year ahead
Everyone at Orkney Rugby Football Club will be following you on your next chapter and wish you both all the very best. We are all very proud of you both!
** We're reaching out to local services and organisations to collaborate in supporting our youth sessions - whether through study assistance, health advice, or any other form of guidance that can help our young members thrive both on and off the field - please contact [email protected] **
