Game(s) of the Season.
The victory over Woore, the win against Sutton Police and victory over Bugbrooke. Were all good wins. The game against Sutton on the Hill was memorable for possibly the oldest average age ever for a Nomad's side. The win against Blythe Bridge saw Rich Caygills debut century, watched by his parents (it's not very often we draw a crowd).

The victory over Woore included a superb 151 undefeated partnership between Dan Moss and Paul Fearon. The Nomads successfully chased 185 in a 35 overs match, against a quality bowling attack.
Keith Greaves legendary assault against the Sutton Police bowling attack to smash the all time 10th wicket partnership record with Steve George. His 38* included 20 off the last over including 2 straight sixes.
Nomads beat Bugbrooke by just 5 runs in a close finish.
