Nomads on fire in a 15 try thriller

In a wonderful display of running rugby Stroud Nomads scored 15 tries with 7 of them being converted by Sam Leworthy.

From the kick off Stroud caught the ball through Lee Marshall who passsed to Dave Clutterbuck, further excellent handling gave Jess Stevens the opportunity to cross in the corner.

Further tries followed with full back Chris Anderson, Harry Foote and Sam Cook crossing the line.

Old Richians were shell shocked but managed a lone penalty kick during this onslaught.

With backs and threequarters all handling and passing with speed and skill further tries by Harry Phillips, Dave Bishop, debutant Gareth Lewis, and two by Sam Leworthy gave the Nomads a substantial first half lead.

The second half followed the same pattern with the Nomads tearing the Old Richians defence to shreds with some powerful running.

Tries were scored at will with Nat Cook, Phil Fruin, Harry Phillips(2), Lee Marshall and Chris Anderson completing the rout.

Old Richians to their credit never gave up and were rewarded with a try, which was converted.

This was another good display by the Nomads, with once again the younger players showing up well.
