1XV
Ivel 1XV 78   vs  Wimborne 2XV 33  Home.   This game started out very strongly for Ivel, but the visitors came back and for a while the outcome was completely unpredictable.  In the second half Ivel started to build and came away comfortable winners.

Ladies
Ladies   Ivel   5   vs  St Mary's Old Boys Ladies  5  Home (Again).   A game in which both teams were competing against the elements as well as each other!  The game was finished early due to the deteriorating conditions.   A couple of pictures on report page.

U16
U16  Ivel 12   vs  Taunton 0  Away.   A match which Ivel won, but unfortunately was cut short because of an injury to a Taunton Player.  Ivel wish a speedy recovery to the Taunton player.  Pictures on report page.   Good news - Taunton player suffered a trapped nerve in his back and although sore, is now back on his feet.
U14
U14  Ivel 17   vs  Taunton 7  Away (But at Home!).   The U14 were meant to play this game at Taunton, but because of unplayable pitches it was played at Ivel.   This was a really good game but Ivel were constantly pressuring the Taunton line, particularly in the second half.  Well played both teams.  Pictures on report page.
1XV
Ivel 96   vs  Warminster  0  Home.   This was a surprisingly one sided affair given the tough game when they played previously.  A big score that could have been bigger but for handling errors in the muddy conditions.  Pictures on report page.

U10  Ivel vs  Weymouth  Home.   Two great games of rugby today with all players contributing.  Well played the U10.

U15
Ivel U15  26   vs  Wimborne U15 27   Home.   A thrilling match which was enjoyed by all with the result going Wimborne's way by one point.  The U15 really played well today and were unlucky not to beat a renowned difficult opposition. Fantastic performance lads.   Pictures on report page.
U16
Ivel U16  29   vs  Wiveliscombe U16  0  Cup  Home.   The scoreline of this match does not reflect the play of the visitors who just couldn't convert pressure into points whereas Ivel did so consistently.
U15
Ivel U15  34   vs  North Petherton U15 14  Away.   A good match with good skills on show and Ivel playing well for the win.  Great food North Petherton....can we come again!

Ivel Colts  31  vs  Castle Cary Colts  10  Away.   Yet another game played in less than ideal conditions.  In the second half Ivel managed to put some good handling and running together which won them the game.
Ladies
Ivel Ladies  31  vs  Gordano Ladies  12  Home.   In absolutely horrendous conditions, these two teams showed the tenacity and courage that would put men's teams to shame.  This was a real "slobberknocker" in the mud and must have drained every ounce of energy these players had.  Full of admiration for both teams...outstanding.
U16
Ivel U16  43  vs  Castle Cary U16  3  Home.   The conditions made for an "interesting" game which Ivel dominated.  Some good running on the firmer, wide areas of the park.

Ivel U15   vs  Sherborne U15  Away.  Pictures from todays game.
U13
Ivel U13  vs  Sherborne U13  Away.   A game which Ivel lost but suffered an injury at the end which required an ambulance.  Happy to report that Kyle Evans suffered heavy bruising and that the injury wasn't worse.   Pictures on report page....including special training session at the end!

2XV
Ivel 2XV  3  vs  Cheddar  32  Home.   A heavy pitch made this a battle of the mud and slippery ball.  It was very difficult to move the ball wide, but when Cheddar did so, they took the chances very well.

U9
Ivel U9 vs North Petherton U9 Away.   Two good matches from the youngsters.  Pictures on report page.
Ladies
Ivel Ladies  47  vs  Westbury Ladies  0   Away.   A stronger performance by Westbury than the previous meeting was still not enough to contain the free running Ivel Ladies who won this match convincingly.
U15
Ivel U15   47   vs  Lytchett MinsterU15   34   Away.   A good match despite the daunting travelling conditions to get there.  Well done for perseverance all.

U16
Ivel U16  vs  Sherborne U16   Away.   Pictures from Sundays friendly match away at Sherborne.
U14
Ivel U14  52   vs  Hornets  5   Home.   A good team performance from the Ivel U14 meant Hornets couldn't get a hold on the match and Ivel won comfortably.
1XV
Ivel 52   vs  Bridport  7   Home.   Ivel improved on the previous weeks performance to completely dominate in this top of the table clash.
2XV
Ivel 2XV  0  vs  Burnham on Sea 2XV  22   Away.   Ivel 2nds played some great rugby during this match but the staunch defending of Burnham and failure to find the telling pass meant Ivel were beaten.
U16
Ivel U16  14   vs  North Petherton U16  38   Away.   A hard game against very good opposition was too much for the U16.
1XV
Ivel 21 vs  Warminster 20   Away.   An extremely close game as can be seen by the result.  Ivel maintain their winning streak.
U10
Ivel U10 At The Midsomer Norton Tournament.   A long but extremely enjoyable day of rugby and fun!
Colts
Ivel Colts  19 vs  Wells Colts  33   Home.   An end to end match with free flowing rugby at times.  The packs were the deciding force today.
U14
Ivel U14  vs  Bridport U14  Home.   A big thank you to Bridport who travelled to Ivel with a bare minimum "15 players" and played with great spirit. Well done to the Ivel players who assisted the Dorset side with numbers and ensured a great morning of rugby.  Pictures from the match on Sunday.
2XV
Ivel 2XV   22  vs  Wiveliscombe 2XV  7   Home.   Both teams kept the pressure on for the first stages of the game, but eventually Ivel made the pressure tell.  It was by no means an easy win though.

Ladies
Ivel Ladies  10   vs  Hornettes   22  Away.  A difficult game for the Ladies with players playing out of position and up against a very experienced side.  A good match.
1XV
Ivel 53 vs  Blandford  31  Home.   A nervy beginning saw the visitors strike first but Ivel built throughout the match with some tremendous play.  The visitors came back strong at the end.
2XV
Ivel 2XV 7 vs Somerton   21  Away.   A depleted 2XV went to Somerton with a number of their players covering the 1XV unavailabilities.  The 2XV made a game of it and it's great that Ivel managed to still put out a team.
