Ventnor Rugby Club 2XV at home today United Services Portsmouth Rugby Club 14 March 2026
Counties 6 South Hampshire Merit Tables 2025-26, Saturday 14 March 2026, kick-off 1.30pm
Don’t forget that there’s a big game today at Watcombe when our Ventnor’s 2nds take on United Services Portsmouth who are arriving complete with a front row this time!

The kick off is at 13:30 so there’ll be an opportunity to catch the 6 Nations Super Saturday as well.
This is the replay of the game that had to be abandoned a couple of weeks ago when on of the USP players was injured and an ambulance had to be called.
Damo and his coaching team have been able to pick a strong team which will be led by the inspirational Jack Gilbey and the free-scoring Jacko Rushton.

THIS Ventnor Rugby Club 2XV squad likes the odd scrum . . . .
The starting XV: Iain Reeves, Jack Gilbey (co-capt), Grant Richardson, Ewan Castle, Nathan Frampton, Deano Magnurson, Pat Banks, Charlie Magnurson, Rosco Harris, Beau Bridges, Adam Wade, Ed Blake, Luke Starkey, Olly Wood, The Rev Warren Riches.
Finishers: Henrik Brown, Dan Peat, Charlie Sutton (debut), James Blake, Alan Fox, Blake Tombleson, Jack Rushton (co-capt), Chris Skelley.

Ventnor Rugby Club Vice Presidents’ Lunch 28 March 2026
In other news, there’ll be a Vice Presidents’ lunch on Saturday 28th March when our 1st XV play the Isle of Wight in the league at Watcombe.
Depending on how the results go next Saturday (when we play Portsmouth at Watcombe), the IoW match COULD be a huge occasion with the league building towards its conclusion.

If you want to attend the lunch, let me know asap because it’s bound to be well attended.
