The final game for the Ventnor Seconds saw a defeat, but they had a swear jar running all day raising money for local Cancer charity, P.A.T.C.H, ahead of the Boxing Day Swim.
The Island team, with a few changes due to injuries and other commitments, managed to grind out another win at home this week against a resilient Overton.
Ventnor 1st maintained their 100% winning record this season with a hard fought win over a dogged Aldershot, whilst Ventnor 2nd blew Petersfield out of the game.
As is always the case with this fixture, the game was far from friendly. It was dominated by strong forward play, tough tackling and hard to break defences throughout.
Ventnor 1st team travelled to Fawley this week for a game that was always going to be physical from start to finish, and came out on top with their heads held high. Read on for a detailed report of the match.
With the sun shining on the south coast of the Island, the season got off to a terrific start thanks to two teams playing the game exactly the way it should be played.
