Forthcoming Event
This weekend (10 May) - last match of the season, at home to Lochaber
This weekend Shetland face Lochaber at Clickimin, with a 12 noon kick-off.
It has been a long season for both teams with the first matches being played way back on the 8th of Deptember.
This will be the fourth away fixture in a row for Lochaber since the league split back in December. For AShetland it will be the first home fixture since the 19-17 victory over Ross Sutherland on 8/12/07.
When Shetland travelled to Fort William in November the home team won 5-3.
At the present time Lochaber are three points ahead of Shetland. So the losers on saturday will almost certainly find themselves bottom of the league.
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.
