What a game! This was cup rugby at its best with both teams playing with huge intensity and equal sportsmanship so that the large crowd at Watcombe, in the Hampshire Shield Semi-Final- bolstered by the travelling support from Aldershot and Fleet – were treated...
It was Storm Dennis that led to the postponement of this game in February, but it was another storm of equal magnitude that greeted a strong Fawley RFC side as Ventnor completely dominated this match with a brilliant display of physical intensity and rugby skill. As...
Two words sum up the feeling at the end of this game, but as one of them is unprintable, we will have to resort to just one: FRUSTRATING! After another game in which they played all the rugby, Ventnor just failed to beat a strong and organised Overton side who arrived...

When Locksheath scored within a couple of minutes of the kick-off, there was concern that this could be a long afternoon for Ventnor. But not a bit of it! Playing with the wind, the islanders went straight back onto the front foot, taking the game to the opposition in...

When Tottonians RFC 2nds visited Ventnor RFC in late September last year, two of their players left the ground in ambulances – Harry Morse with a neck injury and Todd Arnison with a leg break. Tending them both during the wait for the ambulances was Zoe Jones an...
Playing against a stiff breeze, Ventnor started strongly and were unlucky that, after a sustained attack, the final ball from Sam Lines to Alex Enache just went to ground with the line begging. However Portsmouth soon set out their tactical plan, playing ten-man rugby...
This was a disjointed match in which a combative Southampton team played a full part based on a game-plan of spoiling Ventnor’s possession and challenging the offside line at every opportunity. Ventnor started slowly – possibly still emotionally charged from the...
This was an excellent performance from Ventnor who have started the new decade in style. Despite missing some regulars such as Adam Pratt, Dominic Marsh, Harry Colson and George Finan, from the first whistle Ventnor were on the front foot, putting together phase after...
With this being the last ever Ventnor 2nd XV game due to being thrown out of the Merit League, Foxie pulled out all of the stops to get a bumper team together to go out with a real bang. Surely nobody would want to miss out on such a momentous game as...
This derby match was scrappy at times but always entertaining for the large and vocal crowd. Ventnor started strongly with excellent play from their forward pack that gave scrumhalf Louis Malkin plenty of time to choose his pass and get the outstanding Sam Lines and...
