First Ba’ of 2014 goes down

The Doonie boys won the first Ba’ of the year after a game lasting just over an hour.

From the start the Doonies took control of the game with the pack gradually edging down Broad Street despite some fierce Uppie resistance.

After an hour the scrum had moved into the mouth of Castle Street before a decisive break was made down Albert Street and Bridge Street, with Jack Duncan eventually climbing over the railings on Harbour Street and jumping into the basin with the ba’.

After a 45-minute struggle an emotional Robbie Hay, from Kirkwall, rose from the pack and was declared the winner.
