​Clean Sweep for Orkney RFC at Caithness Mini Rugby Tournament

​Sunday 17th March 2019 saw 39 kids from East, Kirkwall and West mini rugby sections play in the Caithness Mini Rugby Tournament.  Two Primary 7 and two Primary 5 teams were created with a mixture of players from each section.  The travelling coaches were impressed with the calibre of the Orkney players and the way that they all mucked in together in the different teams.

Teams from Orkney, Nairn, Highland, Moray, Kinloss, Ross Sutherland and Caithness all competed at both age groups.
