Orkney’s First XV rugby side is set to get their 2016/17 BT National League Division 3 campaign underway on Saturday, with an away trip to Inverness.

Set to face newly promoted Highland RFC, Orkney will be hoping to put last weekend’s BT Cup defeat to GHA behind them and start their league campaign off on a positive note.

Orkney last met regular foes Highland during the 2014/15 season, with Orkney pipping their rivals to the BT Caledonia League Division 1 title by five points.

The match is scheduled to kick-off at 12.30pm at Canal Park in the Highland’s capital.
