*** FINAL REMINDER- Deadline Friday 17 October. No late entries can be accepted ***
The front row featured Cady Denoon stepping in at prop, flanked by the experienced Sandra Davey at tighthead and Skye Taylor making a strong return at hooker. The trio provided a powerful platform early on, with Cady and Sandra’s aggressive carries and Skye’s dynamic runs putting pressure on the opposition from the outset.
Also can everyone selling tickets please return them asap, preferably sold, but if you are struggling to sell them, get them returned so that others can sell/buy them.
This is a big fundraiser for the club and we need as many to be sold as possible! The draw is on Saturday 25th October at the club after the 1st XV game against Lasswade. Can you return them to captains/ coaches or behind the bar please, or to Brian Lanni at 5 Viking Place, thanks!
Aberdeen Wanderers, whose U16s play for the Garrioch team, offered to host. Thank you all for a great day and great hospitality
We kicked off at 1030 and straight away, you could tell that Orkney were hungry for points.
Before the game started, everyone present held a minute’s silence in memory for Rab Muir. A very much loved coach, who loved rugby, loved the Dragons, had the most infectious laugh to brighten up anyone’s day. This game was for him and we know he would have been proud of the performance today.
The tackling was really good and offloads kept the game fast paced, with orkney girls scoring tries both through and around the defence.Caithness was fighting back strongly with some good carries of their own and the game was well balanced. As the game went the Orkney girls got tired and a few knocks on and turnover started tipping the balance ever slightly in Caithness favour (though the final score is blurry, Caithness coaches graciously said "we'll call it a draw" )
In the final game the girls got back on the pitch with determination. Slowing the game down with clean rucks, getting together as a team, they managed to hold their position again for the final part of the game! Great recovery and good rugby all round! Playing on the main pitch, the U12s enjoyed 2 games in mixed teams with their Caithness counterparts. Great tackles on display from experienced and new alike.
Thank you to Caithness RFC for hosting us, especially Mark for the lifts between club and ferry, and NorthLink for the travel sponsorship.
