With only 2 fixtures played in Division One last week, and with most teams only having one match left to play, Ryde A made short work of second-placed Shanklin Sharks with a surprising 10-0 victory in their second meeting of the season.
Although Shanklin comprised of 3 top quality players in Don Hobbs, Tom Johnson and Mike Bulpitt, they had no answers against Ryde’s Alex Rorke and Scott Lawson who are in a league of their own. Ryde’s Glenn Morley had to fight harder for his victories but overcame his opponents in some tight matches.
