Congratulations to two players from the New England Nomads on the arrival of two wee bairns! Firstly, captain David “Modra” Richards and Shalanah Livermore are now the proud parents of Kamari Lurlene Elizabeth June Richards. And 2017 Assistant coach Paddy Tobias and Ellen Nyberg the proud parents of Jack Robert Tobias. All are doing well.
As it turned out they were all in Armidale Hospital at the same time.
Below is a photo of the very pleased first time fathers.
