On July 8th both the men’s and women’s teams forfeited to Inverell, in part due to uni holidays. Again not ideal. It has been one of those seasons.

On July 1 the Nomads men travelled to Tamworth to play a night game against the Tamworth Roos. Unfortunately there were College Events and some players took our name a little too seriously. As a result only 12 Nomads arrived to play. It was decided that a game would be played with some Roos players given to the Nomads. So the Roos were given 2 premiership points and then a game was played which the Nomads won (and so we received 2 points as well). Not at all ideal.

In the women’s game we lost, scoring 2.1.13 to the Roos 16.16.112. Goal-scorers for the Nomads were Anna Greenland and Sofia Dwyer. Many of the NOmads women have never played before but they are really coming on.

On June 24th Clarrie Barker played his 100th game for the Nomads. This is quite an achievement, as at 23 he is the youngest player to achieve this mielstone. Barker played his usually stellar game and kicked 3 goals to boot. The men’s team won quite decisively after a close first quarter.

The final score in the men’s game were 16.27.123 to 6.11.47.

In the women’s game, our Nomads girls had a tough-ish day at the office being beaten 2.0.12 to the Swans 17.15.117

On June the 4th 2023, the Nomads men had another win at the Bellevue Oval – the home of football. (Again this is being written– in Old Mate Says Mode – that is,relying on testimony). The Nomads got away to a flying start kicking 9 goals on the first quarter. Fraser Menzies kicked 11, Clarrie Barker 2, Cotter Litchfield (obviously playing up forward) 2 and the Big Fish Travis Salmon 2. Best players were Fraser Menzies, Clarrie Barker, Cotter Litchfield and Nick Leopardi. The final scores were the Nomads 22.25.157 to Gunnedah 4.7.31.

In the women’s game an understrength Nomads team battled brqvely against the experience of Gunnedah to lose 20.18.138 to 0.1,1. Things are on the up however and we look forward to closer games in the near future.
