The Vectis U12s hosted New Milton RFC at the IW RFC home ground, Wootton Recreation Ground, using the friendly fixture to integrate new players and test new positional combinations.

New Milton started with strong organisation, running in six tries before the break. However, the Vectis squad displayed remarkable mental toughness, regrouping at halftime to deliver a transformed second-half performance. Increased pressure at the breakdown, powerful carries, and vastly improved support play saw Vectis score five well-worked tries, restricting the visitors to just one in response. The massive improvement in teamwork and confidence was palpable, proving the squad’s character.

Man of the Match was awarded to Juke, who came off the bench and immediately lifted the team's momentum with his unrelenting energy, decisive tackling, and direct running. This positive performance has set a strong foundation for the weeks ahead.

Vectis U15s hard fought draw.

The U15’s travelled away to Petersfield RFC for a highly competitive fixture that ended in a thrilling 24-24 draw in what was a thrilling high score game.

Vectis U16s were disappointed to see their away fixture at Trojans RFC called off due to a waterlogged pitch but are raring for their next game.

Vectis U10s on the road.
