RUGBYUnder-16s: Trojans 5, Vectis 19
VECTIS took their strongest squad of the season to Trojans and enjoyed a hard-fought victory.
They threatened to dominate early on, with their forwards powerful running and set plays, and the pressure paid off when Richard Vaughan scored a try.
Trojans hit back and levelled just before half time.
However, in the second half, after a stale spell of play which threatened a draw, Vectis pulled away. With ten minutes to go, Vaughan broke away to put Vectis back into the lead and Joe Jackson added valuable points from the conversion. Trojans, with time running out threw everything at Vectis and still threatened to score however, after some great defending, Tom Turtle got an opportunity to run at their defence and broke through to score, with Jackson again adding the conversion.
Vectis: Lyons, Brown, Moffat, Tulloch, Biss, Webb, Price, Wilcock, Coulter, Jackson, O’Flynn, Wagen, Vaughan, Turtle, Wilson Subs: Southwell, Middleton, Cant, Bunday, Salero, Vaughan, Church.
