Match Report: 1st XV v Newton Stewart 16-9-17

BT National League Division 3
Pickaquoy Infield - Saturday, 16 September 2017
ORKNEY RFC 3, NEWTON STEWART 41

​​Again Orkney started brightly, we were encamped in the oppositions half for extended periods but couldn't change pressure into points, eventually we scored our only points: a 3 pt penalty.

Newton Stewart answered straight away with a try, conversion missed.

The first half finished 15-3 to the visitors even though the territory Orkney had.

---

The second half was a stalemate until the last 20 when Newton Stewart scored another 30+, Orkney were again encamped in the oppositions half but could not put pressure into points.

​Final score: 3-41

I now ask for all players who wish to see Orkney RFC stay in the National leagues to please make an effort to train and support your Captain for the rest of the season.

Training this week is at KGS Tues & Thurs 6:00 - 7:30 so moulded studs or astro shoes but trainers will also do.

Next Sat away to Ardrossan RFC, leave Fri night back Sun morning, details will be disseminated later in week.
