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.

Under 16 Rugby
Thurso, Sunday 23rd September 2018
Caithness U16s 55, Orkney U16s 19

The first third started in light rain. Caithness opened the scoring within the first 5 minutes. They then followed up with 2 more tries, Orkney defended hard but Caithness managed to break them down.

At the beginning of the second third the rain had stopped and the sky had cleared up. A beautiful cross field kick from Ewan Stevenson, after a quick penalty, landed in the goal zone and was brilliantly followed up by Findley Cooper. Caithness responded by scoring 2 more. Tom Mcarthur ran through the opposition line with a mazey run and secured a try by diving over the head of the Caithness full back in the corner of the pitch. To round off the second third Caithness scored a sixth try.

Caithness dominated the final third and scored another 3 tries. Kieran Barclay finished off the game with another Orkney try. Jacob Heale and Tom Mcarthur each converted a try.
