Rugby at Watcombe this Saturday for Ventnor RFC 2XV v Southampton RFC 2XV

Rugby at Watcombe this Saturday for Ventnor RFC 2XV v Southampton RFC 2XV – Saturday 1st November 2025

There’s rugby at Watcombe on Saturday when Ventnor 2nds take on Southampton 2nds in the Hampshire Premiership South League. The kick-off is at 14:30.

Jack will lead out a strong side that is ready to bounce back from their defeat away against a ‘reinforced’ Tottonians side. No doubt there will be a few more players making their Watcombe debuts.

The full squad will be announced tomorrow. (This match does not appear on the published Fixture List where it was scheduled for 29th Nov but was changed after publication to prevent a double-header at home).

The bar will be open at 13:00

Ventnor RFC 1XV do not have a game this weekend.
