ORKNEY RFC won 100-3 at Pickaquoy on Saturday afternoon, eventually
running riot over a Stirling University side that had put up a decent
fight in the opening period of the match.
It was ten minutes into the fixture before the home side managed to get
out of their own half, but from then on they dominated the Scottish
Hydro Caledonia Division 1 contest.
Orkney were 31-0 up by half time - the bonus point was secured inside
the first half hour - but the real onslaught was saved until the second
half.
The visitors slotted a penalty in the second 40 minutes, but it was an
all Orkney affair in reality, with the home side entertaining their
200-strong support with a try-fest that emphasised Orkney's superior
ability and brought the final score to 100-3.
Orkney have another home league fixture next Saturday, May 1, against Kinross, ahead of the Orkney Aggregates Sevens tournament.
