On Sunday, Ventnor Rugby Club hosted an event for junior rugby which was attended by mainland teams from Wanstead, Henley, Bracknell and Beccehamians, with age groups ranging from under sevens to under twelves.
Using all three pitches at the Watcombe Bottom facility, matches were played in great spirit with some great talent on view.
After the event, Ed Blake, Ventnor RFC’s chairman stated,
“I would like to thank all the kids and parents who attended the event and to the volunteers from our club and from Rew Valley Youth Football who made it all possible.
“We hope that we will be able to expand this further in future years.”
Regular visitors
The clubs are annual/regular visitors to the Isle of Wight and were utilising their accommodation which had been suspended due to the pandemic.
Their travel arrangements were arranged by Sports Travel SW who have been sending clubs across the Solent for over 20 years.
