VECTIS U14 GIRLS SHOW RESILIENCE DESPITE TOUGH TEST AT TROJANS
Vectis U14 Girls showed tremendous resilience against Trojans, overcoming fog-related ferry delays and three injuries during a challenging developmental friendly.
Playing as Vectis Oaks alongside players from Oakmeadians, the girls travelled across the Solent to face strong opposition, with fog causing delays to their journey.
The combined squad started brightly, putting their game plan into action and demonstrating excellent communication in the early stages.
However, three injuries disrupted their momentum, allowing Trojans to establish a commanding lead.
Despite the setbacks, the girls refused to give up, regularly regrouping beneath the posts to discuss tactics and encourage one another.
Coaches Nicole and Lewy praised the squad’s resilience, communication and commitment to the club’s TREDS values throughout the match.
Aitana was named Player of the Match by the Trojans coaches in recognition of her tireless work rate, attacking runs and constant involvement.
Although tackling remains an area for development, the fixture provided valuable experience for the combined squad.
There was also an impressive individual performance from Vectis Under-12 player Alba, who was the only member of her age group to make the journey to Trojans.
Despite the travel disruption, Alba joined a mixed friendly involving Trojans and Oakmeadians players, many of whom she had never met before.
She produced an outstanding display, making three big tackles, competing fiercely at the ruck and scoring a superb try.
