Present and past players and exiles from the club were joined by players from the Sandown & Shanklin and Ventnor clubs for the charity match.
Over 40 players participated as IW Reds played IW Blues to battle a keenly contested 80 minutes, cheered on by the support of a large crowd. With teammates on opposite sides, some interesting head-to-heads kept the crowd enthralled.
The outcome saw the Reds win by 39 to 15. Among the Blue try scorers were Luke Blackman, Jevon Dry, Ben Ridley and George Huish, while Red scorers included Adam Groves and Ash Smith.
Donations in the packed bar and ensuing raffle raised more than £1,500 towards Luke and his recovery.
The club would like to extend a huge thank you to all individuals and local businesses who donated raffle prizes, and to all who organised and supported the day, a showing of the camaraderie and spirit of rugby on the Isle of Wight.
