Ellingham & Ringwood RFC 3rd XV v Ventnor RFC 2nd XV 2025-26 fixture – CANCELLED
Unfortunately, the Ventnor RFC 2nd XV Hampshire Premier South Merit Table league 2025-26 game away to Ellingham & Ringwood RFC 2nds has been cancelled because the home team can’t raise a team.
This is a big disappointment only slightly eased by the award of the full five points to Ventnor.
