Orkney RFC welcomes first ‘home-grown’ Development Officer

15/11/2023

 
Orkney Rugby Club welcomes Sean Corrigall as our fourth RDO and the first home-grown one having started his rugby in West minis & served as the club’s Community Rugby Coach for the past year.

He takes over the role from John Cairns, who held the post from November 2016.

Picture
Sean is a talented sportsman having rowed to Under 23 British Champion level and is Scottish Indoor record holder at 2000m and 500m, and coached junior members of Molesey Boat club in London.

Having retired from elite rowing due to injury, Sean returned to rugby and played for a season with Bay of Plenty in New Zealand and then with US Avignon Le Pontet
, a club based in the South of France close to Toulon, who start their players at three years of age!

Sean also had a spell at Boroughmuir RFC, coached U12s in N.Z. and U18s in France.

Chairman, ORFC

30/10/2023

 
Caledonia North Region Women’s League
Aberdeen - Saturday 28th October 2023
Aberdeenshire Quines 32, Orkney Dragons 0


Continuing a rather sporadic start to the Caley North League 1 season the Orkney Dragons travelled to Aberdeen to play Aberdeenshire Quines.

Despite the extreme amounts of rain the North East had been experiencing the pitch at Woodside was in remarkably good condition.
Picture
The Dragons had travelled with a depleted squad of 14 but three keen rugby players from Garioch, Mackie and Turriff respectively had kindly agreed to help the team out. Coral, Nikita and Sarah slotted into the team without issue.
