Saltire Energy Boy's U18 Caledonia Youth Bowl & Plate S/F
Pickaquoy, Saturday 22 Mar 2025
Orkney RFC 50, Dunfermline 0

After last week's heroic efforts against Gala Wanderers in the National Youth Cup Final, the U18s were back on the campaign for the Saltire Energy Boy's U18 Caledonia Youth Bowl & Plate

They had drawn Dunfermline in the Semi Finals for the Bowl & Plate, the winner of this fixture would be in the Bowl and the unsuccessful team would be in the Plate Final so either way, both teams were going to be in Aberdeen at Robert Gordon College for finals but Orkney had their eyes on the win and were looking to be in the Bowl final.
