County Show day a great success

15/8/2019

We had a successful day at the County Show, not only by selling copies of the 50th Anniversary Book, but through other key fund raising activities and selling Club raffle tickets – all of which gave Club funds a good boost, and many of the Go Go Olive figures sporting ORFC colours sold well too.

Later on in the day the Club was REALLY busy after the Parish Cup final and that too gave Club funds a further boost.

County Show Stall - 10th August 2019

31/7/2019

It’s that time of year again, as Orkney RFC begin the ever-increasingly difficult task in balancing the books against the monstrous travel costs of operating all sections of the Club including the First XV , Ladies and Junior rugby.

First on the Agenda , as always, is the County Show stall. What can you do to help , we hear you ask??? Well…….

Bottles – Huge amount of varied bottles, cans and other items are required for the stall and any donations would be very gratefully received. Where bottles of liquor are great and much needed, homebakes; multi-packs of baked beans; kiddies drinks etc. are equally required.
Bottles can be left with with Garry at The Pitstop garage at Hatston; Olga at R Clouston Ltd, 10 Grainshore Drive, Hatston or at the Club whilst training is on. (Monday from 6 to 7:30pm and Wednesday & Friday from 6:30 to 8pm) - bottles can be left in the front changing room as usual.

Stall volunteers – Can you spare a few hours on Show day to work on the stall, all welcome players/ former players/ social members/ players parents etc etc etc, ‘ Many hands make fur light work , ya ken’. If you can at all help please contact Scott Rendall, Paige Archibald or Brian Lanni and let them know (contact details here). Please, please, please , pretty please……………

Orkney retain Sevens title

5/5/2019

Orkney, with club president Brian Lanni and Stephen Kemp (right) sponsors Orkney Builders (Contractors) Ltd.

Orkney eased to a win in the 52nd Orkney Rugby Sevens this afternoon, winning a hard-fought final against Peebles.

The weather was kind to the popular event — a cold wind but the sun was shining — which attracted a large crowd.

Sixteen sides took to the field on the day — down on the expected 19 — with just two travelling sides — losing finalists Peebles and semi-finalists on their 30th consecutive Orkney Sevens appearance, Grangemouth.

Orkney player of the tournament Stephen MacPhail, Alex Kansour, Matt Jackson and James Linklater saw Orkney retain their title, winning 26-12 to leave the home side and their fans delighted. (Report courtesy of The Orcadian)

The other winners on the day were Orkney Dragons - Women's Trophy; Eastionians - Pail; Auld Bulls - Bowl & Ale Stars - Plate. For a full list of results, visit the Sevens Page
