Massive game at Watcombe today Ventnor Rugby Club 1XV Saturday 21 March 2026
Counties 3 Hampshire
Today’s game at Watcombe will go a long way to providing the outcome of Hampshire Counties Three league [2025-26] when Ventnor 1sts play Portsmouth 2nds.
If they win it with a bonus point, Ventnor will remain at least ten points ahead of their nearest opposition with just two games to go.
Lewy leads a strong squad, namely:
Harry Bexon-Stone, Jewy Jones, Jack Rushton, Jason Coltham, Cody Hayman, Will Broomfield, Lewy Morton (capt), Harvey Wheeler, Josh Ford, Luke Butler, Ed Blake, Max Wheeler, Tom Branagh, Alec Bulpitt, Tom Crews. Subs: Riley Lloyd, Joe Coghlan and Ben Souter.
Portsmouth RFC 2XV are on a strong run of results with three wins on the trot that’s seen them climb to fourth in the league so the lads deserve all the support that we can give them.
All four of our recently capped Hampshire under 20s players are in the squad Josh Ford, Cody Hayman, Harry Bexon-Stone and Riley Lloyd for their selection to play for Hampshire Under 20s, in the Jason Leonard Under 20 County Championship 2025-26.. Congratulations to them all.
