Vectis under 15s v Petersfield 21-19 win

Vectis u15’s headed to Petersfield in hope of continuing a successful league campaign which contains only one loss so far

Heavily impacted by injuries, a small squad of just 18 were faced up against a strong Petersfield side. Vectis didn’t turn up for the first 20 minutes of the first half and conceded 2 tries without any real resistance. However entering the second quarter of the game a different Vectis side showed up and quickly scored a try, before dominating possession until half time

After half time, it was a case of deja vu as a tired looking Vectis side easily conceded a try once again with little opposition, however after a piece of wonderful interplay the boys scored and brought themselves into contention at 19-14 to Petersfield. With a new energy about them Vectis quickly pressured their opponents defence before running in another try, excellently converted by Joe Nelson to give the travellers a 21-19 lead. They held this lead until conceding a penalty in the last minute which left Petersfield with a pressure kick to win, however the failure to convert this penalty meant a Vectis win away from home and a continued good form in the league
