Epsom Nomads' korfball games against Croydon are always competitive affairs and last Sunday's fixture was no exception, with the score reaching 2-2 within five minutes.

Nomads picked up the tempo with some good shooting and excellent defence and were in front at half time by an 11-4 scoreline.

But the second half proved to be very different, with Nomads probably thinking the game had already been won while Croydon relaxed and played with more patience. Fortunately for Nomads they were able to hold out with a 17-15 victory.

Nomads 2 beat Croydon 21-16, Nomads 3 lost 14-6 to Nomads Vets while Nomads 4 beat Northdowns 3 18-8.
