After a few weeks off the Nomads entertained Credition 3rds who where one place above the Nomads in the Merit Table.

It was a tough start to the game with the Nomads having to fight hard for all possesion and territory, the deadlock however was broken by Crediton who scored and converted 15 minutes in.

The Nomads fought back and ten mintes later No.8 Matt Cornish peeled off the back of a maul making a 30 metre sprint to the line, the try was converted by Shaun Woodhead. Shortly afterward Shaun Woodhead added a penalty giving the Nomads a 10-7 lead at half time.

The second half was very difficult for the Nomads who had to use all their energy reserves with some ferocious defending to keep Crediton out. The game was finally made safe with a last minute try from Prop Richard following a kick, chase and turnover secured by the backs.

As in earlier matches there were many good performances but the two outstanding perfomances of the day came from Hooker Simon Tatersall and Centre Sam Brown.

Nomads travel to Simouth this week for another Merit clash.
