Round Result
Saturday 16 August 2025 – Bellevue Oval, Armidale
New England Nomads 0.2 (2) def. by Tamworth Swans 25.22 (172)
Match Summary
After four weeks without a game and only their second match in seven weeks, the Nomads returned to the field under difficult circumstances. With rain, hail and snow limiting preparation to indoor training only, the lack of match fitness was evident as the side struggled to find rhythm.
While the scoreboard did not go the Nomads’ way, the match provided valuable minutes in the legs and an opportunity to reset as the team builds towards the business end of the season.
Despite the result, the spirit within the group remains strong. The commitment of the playing group continues to be the foundation of the club’s culture, with effort and enthusiasm reflecting the ongoing growth of the New England Nomads program.
