10 May - last match of the season, at home to Lochaber

Shetland are now unbeaten at home since November 2007 after a 72-10 victory over Lochaber.
OK, we have only played three home matches since then, but it sounds good.
Scorers will be listed once they have been found out. But all concerned played well in good conditions at Clickimin.
The win moves Shetland up to ninth position in 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.
