It was a dramatic afternoon of rugby at Watcombe Bottom on Saturday, with Ventnor’s 1st XV securing a last-gasp league victory.

The impromptu game, with players frequently swapping shirts, was played in the spirit of celebration rather than competition, but still produced some fine rugby.

Ventnor Rugby Club enjoyed a sensational weekend with both the first and second teams claiming emphatic wins.

The match pitted a Chairman’s XV against a President’s XV, with the Chairman’s side eventually coming out on top.
