After last weeks disappointment against Bec, Nomads again failed to bounce back against KV in a contest that was played hard and left the referee deciding between whether six of one was worse than half a dozen of the other leaving neither side overly happy with the decisions and KV with the points.
Nomads never had the lead but were well within reach for the majority of the game, sadly their game lacked the fluency needed to rack up the three or four unanswered goals that would have put them back in contention for the win.
With penalties missed to add to the frustration this was a day to forget for the reds as they're left five points adrift of fourth place and realistically out of the running for the end of season play-offs.

Seconds In Frustrating Draw

There's an unwritten rule in Korfball that you never want lose to a side with a bigger number next their name, particularly if they're from one of our London rivals.
Nomads succeeded in that respect (they didn't lose) with Simon Cole shooting well for his five goals but a low scoring draw with Bec's thirds will leave their yellow clad counterparts far happier.

Thirds Pick Up Impressive Win

Further to the point above, if a second or third team rack up a win against another club's firsts it's a cause for celebration.
Nomads 3 had such a win, coming back from four goals behind at one stage to win 18-17 over Highbury with Coach Butters racking up an impressive 9 goals.
Sadly it would be remiss of me to mention that the same coach began the post match team talk thinking that Nomads had lost the game!
Fortunately he was soon corrected and the thirds can celebrate a fine win

Chairman More Holds Nerve To Take The Win

The fourths continued the loose theme of my reporting, taking victory over Highbury's second string in a low scoring contest that needed Lol More to sink a late penalty to win the game.
Naturally, with 23 goals in London 2 this season, adding the 24th to his tally with the penalty was a formality and Nomads 4 took the win.

Nomads 5 Strengthen Their Position At The Top Of London 3

Nomads 5 continued to get vital points on the board in their battle for promotion with this comfortable 9-5 win over Bec 5.
Their next match against Trojans 3 will be the real test as with games in hand they seem most likely to challenge for top spot.

Nomads 6 also won a friendly fixture against Bec 6, thanks to all those from both sides who doubled up to get this game played and to Andrew Speck from Highbury for refereeing his third game of the day!
Come on you Reds!
