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.

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
