Match report: Ventnor 1st XV v Lychett Minster (away)
Match report: Lychett Minster 1st XV 17 Ventnor 1st XV 67
26th September 2009
Ventnor really stepped up the intensity from last week’s disappointment and dominated right from the off. The forwards gave no space or time for the Lychett pack and dominated at the break-down, line out and scrum.
The entire Ventnor pack chewed up their opponents and spat them out, driving them relentlessly in mauls and never letting them build up a head of steam.
This enabled the skilful flyhalf Damien Marriott and his back line cut up the midfield which they did all afternoon. In fact Marriott had a great afternoon scoring two tries himself and setting up tries for Ben Cooper and two touchdowns for Shaun Williams. Scrumhalf Paul Berry scored another try and directed his forwards brilliantly who tired the opposition with a number of ground-gaining mauls.
Todd Riches – Ventnor’s captain and no 8 – led from the front and scored a hat-trick of tries and inspired his fellow forwards Scott Jesney and the athletic Rob Jackson to further scores. Ben Cooper (2) and Damien Marriott (4) shared the conversions.
The Wightlink Man of the Match was Warren Fresle and Chris Dobbas won the A J Wells Black Dog award.
