VECTIS U13s booked their spot in the Hampshire Plate Final with a hard‑fought 6–4 win over a strong Winchester side.

Vectis fell behind early, but the Island team responded superbly, tightening up their defence and finishing clinically whenever chances came.

Tom Saunders led the scoring with a well-taken hat-trick, supported by two tries from Billy Young and one from Finley Stevens.

Winchester’s coaches named Vectis's Jasper Branston as man of the match, for his outstanding work across the park.

The Vectis coaches praised the team’s attitude, saying the grit, teamwork and determination shown across the squad made the difference on the day.
