2009 BP Shetland MidSummer Sevens weekend

Congratulations to the Arbroath Smokies team who won the BP Shetland Midsummer Rugby Sevens last weekend beating the youngsters of Shetland Select in one of the best finals seen in a long time. Other winners were the Shetland Babarians who defeated the North Zetland Vets to win the Murray Anderson Memorial Trophy, the 'Oros' won the 125 shield beating the Arbroath Vets and in the battle of the Wooden Spoon Delting defeated Shetland Recreational Trust.

A more detailed match report can be found on the Shetland Times site here.

Been around the world!

In a moment (in fact several minutes) of madness, I worked out the distance that Shetland RFC has travelled from Lerwick, in league and cup matches, since our probationary season back in 2003/4.
Having fulfilled our away fixtures this season the grand total of miles covered is some 26,093 miles in less than 5 seasons. Which is a couple of thousand more miles than the circumference of the earth round the equator.

Young people, old people.....

News:

Just in case you were wondering!

In a moment of boredom I wondered if Mike Skinners televised figure for "this is the distance we will travel our away matches" was correct.
Mr. Skinner pulled the figure of 5000 miles out of the air, but he underestimated.
The actual distance from Lerwick (according to www.theAA.com) for 9 away matches was 6350 miles.
