With the Island’s sporting programme decimated by storm Bert, Shanklin’s match at Vectis was abandoned when keeper, Lawrence Chick, broke his leg. His team-mates wish him a speedy recovery.

Island Divisions One and Two

Osborne Coburg beat Brading 3-0 in Division One. After a goal-less first half, Osborne’s Carl Phillipson scored following a defensive mix-up.

Charlie Barnes added a second with 10 minutes left, and Harry Green’s solo effort guaranteed the points for Coburg, who move to sixth spot.

In Division Two, second-placed East Cowes Sports won 2-1 at home to Niton, with goals from Macauley Barnes and Josh Richardson.

Newchurch, appropriately playing at Watery Lane, won 9-1 at home to Seaview, with 4 goals from stalwart Keith Rust, 2 from Ciaran Gibson, and 1 apiece from Charlie Stewart, Pat Haxell and Joe Books.

Combination One and Two

Combination One’s Osborne Coburg Res narrowly won 6-5 away at Binstead COB Res, with a hat-trick for Connor Coburn, and goals for Luke Stone and Ben Ballard.

In Combination Two, volunteers worked all morning to ensure leaders, Niton, could play their home derby with Ventnor A, and will be disappointed to lose 7-1. Asa Gough, Harley and Jason Kennett, and George Creighton were on target for the visitors, and the consolation strike came from Ryan McDowall.

Midweek results

In the Gold Cup, Cowes came from a goal behind to beat West Wight 5-1 at Westwood Park. Josh Daley scored for the visitors after 20 minutes, and George Carter-Knight levelled before half time. After the break, Ryan Oatley, Jimmy Mumford, George Carter-Knight and Jez Conway secured Cowes’ spot in the semi-finals.
