No Rugby at Watcombe December 2025 as both Ventnor teams travel

There’s no rugby at Watcombe tomorrow as both teams travel on Saturday 6 December 2025.

The Ventnor Rugby 1st XV are hoping to maintain their 100% winning streak as they travel to the far north and take on Overton who are having a decent season and always provide tough opposition. Lewy leads an excellent squad despite several regulars being unavailable.

Joining the 1st XV on the coach to Overton will be a cultural mission consisting of about 17 ex-players and vice presidents lead by tour-guide Stuart Babington. As there are no quality museums or art galleries in the vicinity, Babz will probably just congregate his party on the touchline and in the clubhouse bar. What happens next is anyone’s business. The two teams will rendezvous in Southampton before heading back to the Island late tomorrow evening . . .
