With a match a month this season the Vets are on a roll. On Friday night their second outing of the year begins a weekend of rugby at Penns Place. The night fixture, against Winchester, kicks-off at 7:30pm and with the weather set to be cool and clear and the Clubhouse open, where better to be?

On Saturday we were to be treated to the 1st XV against Chineham, (KO 3pm) and the 2nd XV versus Sandown & Shanklin. The 1s will get their chance to bounce back from last week's defeat but, unfortunately for the 2s, the Islanders have not been able to field team. Whilst that fixture has been postponed efforts are underway to secure a home friendly for the 2s.

On Saturday night, England begin rebuilding their shattered dreams with their last RWC match. As with previous matches, the fixture against Uruguay will be shown live in the Clubhouse.

After their meeting with Gosport & Fareham last week, all the Minis are training at home on Sunday, honing their skills and technique in preparation for their next competitive fixtures. Meanwhile the U15s will be hosting Alton on pitch two and the U14s' Gosport & Fareham on pitch four.

To round off the weekend, Hampshire U16s take on Berkshire on Sunday afternoon, with a 2pm KO on pitch one.
