Nomads and South clash in a great derby match

Our early morning game was at Long Road in beautiful autumn conditions - I only mention this, as there will be times when the weather isn't so clement!

Overall it was a well contested match between two equal teams. South's position in the table belies the effective team that they had out - which included Adam, an ex-Nomad. The battle in this game was in the midfield - neither side really had authority in their opposition's D. Our defence was excellent - on our 16 yard hits, Rich Morgan and Barry consistently and effectively punched through a very effective ring formed by South. On the left, Jez buttoned up their attack. Tom J and Sugi combined very nicely on the left hand in the second half.

South's telling goal came from a short corner routine. Post-match conversation with South confirmed that a draw would have been a fair result.
