Ventnor’s final home game of the season had the glittering title of being a revenge game as they looked to settle a score with a team that they lost to on the away fixture.
Ventnor RFC’s first playing experience of one of the newly introduced second teams of some of the bigger clubs in Hampshire took place at the weekend. Ed reports on how they got on.
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.
Following the disappointing first league loss of the season, Sandown & Shanklin looked to get back on track, yet knew that visiting Bognor RFC would be a tough nut to crack in order to get back to winning ways.
Ventnor still pushing for promotion added another win to their collection beating Aldershot & Fleet (who found their way to the Island this year) on a cold and extremely windy Watcombe bottom this week.
