Let Us Entertain You...
Everyone will tell you this is the best rugby club you'll ever be a part of...try us! We train Wednesdays @7:30pm and play most Saturdays...
Congratulations to John Munro, Paul Ingram, and Hamish Reid, three members of the Nomads gang who made their international debuts yesterday in the Philippines Volcanoes 15 - 0 win over Iran. Munro played a great game, stepping up to battle the much bigger Iran pack and executing some classic tackles around the ankles, Ingram was the key player in steadying a Volcanoes scrum that had looked a little shakey early in the game, and Reid managed to squeeze in a few hits and line out grabs in his efforts late in the game.
Well done to all the Volcanoes squad led by Mike Letts for the win. The boys will step it up another notch on saturday at 3pm in the IRB Asian 5 Nations Division 3 championship game. Be there to support the team.
The Bulletes will be there with their new rallying cry for the crowd so get on board:
Hoy! Hoy! Hataw, Pinoy!
Laban, Sugod, Pilipinas!

National Team Trials on today, Saturday 20th June at Nomads Sports Club from 4pm. All welcome.
These selection games will provide the team for the Philippine Volcanoes National Mens team plays against Iran on Wednesday 1st July, while Guam and Indonesia do battle the same day.
On Saturday 4th July the winners of those two games will play off for the Asian Rugby Football Union Division 3 title, and the right to be promoted next year to Div 2. The two losing teams will match up for 3rd and 4th.
Get into it, support the national team, a bunch of Pinoy champs!
Great win by Nomads at Ultra Sports Complex in the wet last week - completely dominated the Alabang Eagles for a 42-17 win. The forwards created the win, driving all over the top of their opposition throughout the whole game, led by a lot of experienced players who revelled in the wet, muddy conditions. Man of the match was second-rower Hamish Reid who didn't stop working all day, ably supported by those try hogs Savina, Hoadley, Barberis, Retzlaff, Kaplan - all of the pack played brilliantly in executing the simple game well.
The Carabaos also had a 10s game vs Alabang Ibons, a game that came down to the final plays of the game to decide the winner - Ibons just pulling ahead through a few more fresh legs and some smart play by Andrea Engelbrecht. Nomads player of the game was Paolo Ocampo, a determined, non-stop contribution right across the pitch hitting it up and playing solid wet weather rugby.
Tim Gray, the new find at inside centre, was judged PRFU Man of the Series for the whole 15s league.
Well done Nomads!

Get into it.
Well done to all the Nomads boys – a great victory 19 – 5 over the Alabang Eagles in the final of the Cebu 10s at Aboitiz Field after a long hot day. The Carabaos also got up in their final, so a fantastic day all round.
Great to be back taking titles, and getting that Nomads winning way!
