Match report: Ventnor 1st XV v Lychett Minster (away)

Match report: Lychett Minster 1^st XV 17 Ventnor 1^st 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.

Match report: Ventnor 1st XV v Isle of Wight 1st XV

Match report: Ventnor 1^st XV 21 – Isle of Wight 1st XV 2519th September 2009

The match was played on a hot day and a rock hard pitch, but despite the testing conditions, this was a keenly contested and passionate local derby, sponsored by Yates Brewery.

Ventnor bossed the first half and the host’s hard work was rewarded with two outstanding tries. Some slick handling from Ventnor resulted in Fulljames and Rogers both crossing the line. In the interim, Marriot successfully kicked a penalty. Ventnor were 13 points without reply.

As half-time approached, the Isle of Wight put their first points on the board. Isle of Wight forward, Baldwin, capitalised on a mismatch and from the blind side he crashed over the line to score.

In the second half the visitors scored a penalty. Ventnor’s Ben Cooper then scored a well taken try in the corner, benefiting from some good handling from Riches.

With only ten minutes remaining, Ventnor seem assured of victory. But in a shock turn-around, the Isle of Wight, using the same ploy, successfully twice targeted the right hand corner to eventually emerge as victors in this closely fought encounter.

Fergus Kenny is voted in as Ventnor Rugby Club 1st XV Captain

admin — Mon, 26 May 2008 09:33:33 +0000

Fergus Kenny

At the recent AGM (22nd May 2008), Ventnor Rugby Club found itself in the enviable position where we had two excellent candidates putting their names forward to become First Team Captain – namely Fergus Kenny and Rob Newton. Accordingly all fully-paid-up Playing Members of the club were asked to vote. The result is that Fergus Kenny will lead out the First XV next season.

Fergus states, “It is a great privilege to be given the captaincy. I have spoken to Rob before, during and after the voting process and he has been tremendously supportive and has agreed to lead the pack. This is excellent for the team since Rob is a great motivator who leads by example”.

Rob states, “I am really looking forward to playing again after my injury problems last season. Fergie did a great job last year after taking on the captaincy in difficult circumstances and I look forward to leading his pack. We are both determined to win promotion back into Hampshire Division Two”.
