On Good Friday, the East Cowes Vics Football Club played Newport IOW in a Wessex League 1 match.

East Cowes Vics won 1-0 with the goal scored by Jez Conway in the first half!

This was the first league victory against Newport in over 30 years! To top the win off, the game was played out in front of the league's biggest crowd of the season with 565 people filling out Beatrice Avenue, home of East Cowes Vics.

Five young girls from The Starlight Academy have been chosen to represent England in the very prestigious dance competition, the Global Dance Open Finals in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands, this summer!

Aged just eight and nine years old, the five girls will travel to the competition this July to compete in Ballet, Jazz, Street and Acro sections.

Auriella, Aria, Imogen, Diwata and Lily will go up against dancers from all around the world, including Italy, Spain, Australia, Canada and South Africa after qualifying in a previous competition, in Sevenoaks, Kent.

Well done girls, this is an amazing achievement, we can’t wait to hear how you get on in July!

NAUT Cycling took part in their first road event of the race season!

Over 50 riders turned up for this event with NAUT members featuring in four teams. A damp and overcast morning for the first time trial event of the season: a 3-up effort along the Military Road, on the Pearl 10 course. Two team members, Eric Wiliams and James Heng had a particularly impressive ride, finishing 6th overall, being the highest placed team of junior riders! One team, featuring Chris Till, wasn’t so lucky, having pushed hard to post the 2nd fastest time, they lost a rider to a mechanical and was disqualified. Alex Paul, Martin Piper and Steve Taylor pulled together to take 7th Place! The trio, including Martin Jackson, took the 13th fastest tie of the event!

Well done, team! We look forward to hearing more!
