Teams from Isle of Wight rugby club Vectis RFC put on spirited performances as they hosted mainland teams and competed away from home.

Vectis Colts hosted Camberley, winning the tie with a crushing 59-0 win and a constant flow of tries and now top the Hants Div Three table.

The Island club hosted the Weybridge Vandals at a rugby festival on Saturday, March 7, featuring several of the club's teams, from the under sevens side to under 11s.

The day finished with a special touch rugby game between the two sides' coaches and parents, where the Islanders came out on top.

At Sunday's Havant Festival, Vectis's under eights sides played nine matches and showed a brilliant display of teamwork to win their games.

The under nines also competed at the festival, while the under tens finished with seven wins, one draw and one loss from their nine games.

Each of the 19 players in the squad scored a try, prompting the opposition coaches to call it the best game of under tens rugby they had ever seen.

The under 11s squad came away with two draws, a win and a loss from their games at the festival, while the under 12s triumphed over Petersfield, Trojans B and Portsmouth.

Meanwhile, the under 12s girls side took part in their first ever competitive tournament, winning two of their three games.

The under 13s hosted Trojans at Sandown and Shanklin RFC, sealing a 9-6 victory despite a difficult first half.
