The 2s travelled to UEA to take on Nomads 1s looking to carry on their recent good form. Despite a number of players only just making push back North came out of the blocks brightly and soon took the lead when John Withers flicked in from a well executed short corner. The lead was then doubled when Alex Robinson found the back board with a well struck shot from another short. After this Nomads came back into the game and pulled one back when the umpire deemed the ball had crossed the line in a goal mouth scramble, much to Norths dismay.
The second half saw North struggling to play the moving and passing game that had been effective the previous weeks. The cause was not helped when Robinson was forced off for stitches after taking a stick to the face. Nomads then equalised from a one on one and North were then indebted to keeper Leon Waldron for making a number of saves to prevent further goals.
North had chances for a winner of their own but couldn't find a way past the solid Nomads defence and the game finished 2-2. A frustrating but fair result after a performance that wasn't quite up to the standard required.
