8 and 0
The Nomads U16 Boys closed out the regular season with a 56-0 win over Ajax 2nds to finish the regular season with a perfect 8 and 0 record. While no-one would claim that this was our toughest game of the season, not least because some of the Ajax boys were double shifting after a tough eastern division play off against the Barbs, it was a deeply impressive performance. On my watch the game lasted barely 45 minutes during which the boys ran in 10 tries. The tone was set in the first six minutes when clean possession from the forwards, slick handling by the backs and excellent support play saw us two tries up. Even after the half when we were playing something close to a second team the Nomads never let up. In fact the pace of the scoring increased as Ajax tired under the onslaught. The only possible criticism would be that the forwards tended to hang onto the ball when the wide route might have been even more productive.
Next weekend will see us play the divisional final though who against we don't yet know. A win then will take us to the provincial finals on September 7th and 8th.
