Scores: Coombs Wood 212 for 7: Nomads 128
Result:  Coombs Wood won by 84 runs

On the evidence of matches against Coombs Wood, Nomads are striding on. Losing by 175, then 130 last year resulted in Forster predicting a win after two more losses. So to ‘only’ lose by 84 this time fits the prediction almost perfectly…..                        In reality, another sound thrashing for Nomads who have yet to ‘get it together’ as a team, this season.

Moss’ first over was a mixture of distant wides, one of which raced to the boundary, and good balls; however he was getting good swing and keeping the batsmen occupied. At the other end, Forster lacked only three things, line, length and rhythm and was despatched regularly. Hughes did the sensible thing replacing him with the excellent Collins after a few overs. However, Coombs Wood had got off to a flyer and despite Moss bowling Vaughn the runs continued to pile up. Only the aforementioned Collins and to a lesser extent Hoddy and Hughes managed to keep anything of a grip on the scoring, although Hughes weighed in with three wickets including a caught & bowled (you don’t drop ‘em off your own bowling then!). Gardner also kept well to some erratic stuff, collecting two stumpings from widish deliveries. Some rough fielding including the inevitable drop by Hughes contributed to Nomads’ downfall.

In reply Moss was soon out but Weir and Gardner took the fight to the opposition, Weir being particularly severe on the leg side, pulling at any ball, even those pitching outside off stump. Eventually one quick single too many caught up with him as he was run out for a gutsy pb of 39. Next ball Caygill was on his way back playing around a good ball that nipped in. Once Gardner had gone, with the total on 99, Nomads had little real threat to offer and soon crumbled; only Greaves generating consternation as he used his bat to deflect a throw that may well have run him out, but by then Coombs Wood knew it was in the bag and couldn’t be bothered  appealing on the grounds of obstruction (or weren’t sure enough of the rules/ guessed [correctly] that the umpire wouldn’t be).
