RBS Caledonia Division 1

1st XV 3 - 3 Caithness RFC

Another frustrating day at the office for the Blacks, the lack of consistency in team availability and selection is beginning to show. The League now is virtually split into two divisions with the top 4 having a comfortable 10 point gap above the remaining 6 with a top 4 who are only separated by 4 points and a real chance that 3 could be relegated.

The Black's played well for the second week in a row and had the majority of possession but could not convert that possession into points, Caithness were a vastly improved unit on the men that faced up in Thurso a couple of months ago. Both teams had opportunities to win in the last ten minutes but could just not find their kicking boots. A tense match, end to end well competed.

There is a welcome break from league action but up next it's Orkney away in the plate - the match is scheduled for an 11:00am KO but this is weather dependant.

RBS Caledonia Shield 2011

Round 1

Gordonians

29th October

Gordonians 19-25 1st XV

The Blacks travelled to Counteswells for the first cup match of the season after a week off due to Highland pulling out of the league match last weekend.

With a couple of players returning from injury and the tattie season they were almost at full strength and with a good wind behind them the men from the Vale of Strathmore built up what looked like a comfortable lead going into the break 0-11 up.

The Blacks looked dominant throughout but a wee bit of sloppy defending gave the students a break which they capitalised on with a fine try in the corner. The try galvanised the Aberdonians and it was match on with end to end scores till the last few seconds of the match.
