Champion forward Dave Richards will become just the sixth New England Nomad in the club’s 20 year history to reach 100 games when he lines up against Inverell this Saturday.
The prolific goal scorer and current captain has won five premierships with Nomads, amassed 35 goals in those grand finals, won best on ground three times and is always one of the competition’s leading goalscorers. More »

The Nomads bounced back strongly against the Roos after their loss to Gunnedah the week before. Although a number of players were out due to the university holidays, the senior players—including Tom Hunt, Paddy Tobias, Wulu Hall, David Richards, Luke Raymond and Phill Mitchell, along with some of the younger players such as Clarrie Barker, Mitch Harriot and Cameron Graham—stood tall. Despite a second quarter fade-out, the Nomads were too strong in the second half and ran out easy winners, kicking 19.11.125 to the Roos’ 10.6.66. David “Rampaging” Richards once again dominated the forward line kicking 6 goals. More »

For the first time in two years the Nomads have heard their opponents victory song in the sheds. The Gunnedah Bulldogs defeated the Nomads 11.13.79 to 9.16.70 at Wolseley Oval in what was one of the highest quality games of football in the North West league for a number of years. At one moment in the third quarter the Nomads were 14 points up but let the lead slip. Best for the Nomads were Luke ‘Rambo’ Raymond, Cammy Graham, Paddy Tobias and Jez Ratcliffe while up forward the Big Dog James Treweeke and David Rampaging Richards kicked 3 apiece. It was a genuine wake-up call for the Nomads who have been cruising over the past month or so. The Nomads were also short of numbers on Saturday. Luckily we did have some water runners and a big thank you to Lisa Raymond and Tembi Chakalisa for doing the honours at short notice.
