Several former players have asked me to include details of our older games on this blog, so I will try to list them all in this space. Nomads were founded in March 1994 in Nick Lefebve's attic in Broomwood Road SW11. Lefebve. John Crossland, Emil Todorow, Joe Chance and John Chance were present. Crossland had asked the late Ranjit of Crete Sports cc how to go about setting up a club and Ranjit had recommended the Club Cricket Conference. The name Clapham Wanderers was decided upon as we intended only to play away games. Joe Chance favoured Clapham Nomads but was out-voted. Lefebve phoned the Conference shortly afterwards but was told there was another club called Clapham Wanderers, so Nomads it was. We signed up and attended a Conference pre-season fixture meeting, found some unwitting opponents, and the genie was out of the bottle.

So Nomads finished last, but were unlucky on a few counts; Pavilion and Unpredictables withdrew from the league, costing Nomads the 20 or so points we accrued in our games against the sides. Sporting Caribs (despite their name a lean, mean Aussie outfit) pulled out of their second match against Battersea Spinners, giving the Spinners 20 free points. Nomads' 2 games in July against Barnsbury Eagles - 1 abandoned, 1 lost - were shrouded in controversy too (I can't quite remember what) but were mainly remembered for a certain purple-clad Nomads player trying to chop down a tree using someone else's bat.
It was a memorable season, and thanks to Renato for setting it up, but Nomads decided to quit and return to the quiet life.

The UK's all-time highest temperature was recorded in Kent on this day and it must have been in the very high 90s at least in New Malden. Surrey Seamers were a predominantly Sri Lankan team who used to play - and thrash - Open University regularly. I must admit Chance had a point - The Seamers had given their status as Weak-Medium. I guessed that was unlikely and in the event they were Strong-Medium at least, but I didn't want to risk losing money on an unused pitch.
