It is with great sadness to announce the recent passing of Michael Banks.

Michael was a popular Nomad back in the 70’s and 80’s. Although quiet, he was always there to support the Nomads in all their endeavours. He was a consistent tourist, attended all social events and was part of an energetic group of friends that were the backbone of the club back in the days.

Michael will be missed by friends, family and by Nomads across the club.

🚨 THE RESULTS ARE IN!! 🚨

Over 30s maintained their lead to absolutely CRUSH the Under 30s. They started this competition with a smaller team too, but came out with all the heart and all the kms!

With a last minute upset to the leaderboard, we have @billycudmore @livin_the_dream_40 and @krisko_4 as our top 3 leaders. These 3 are fitness fanatics! Putting up huge numbers, they are all huge contributors to why the Over 30s won. 👏

Just shy of the podium, but leading the Under 30s is @griffinnfit ! For those who know him, we aren’t surprised. Griffin patrols the lakeshore bike path like it’s his day job! 🏃🏻

Please DM us your addresses if you are a winner so we can get you your prizes. ☺️

Our Strava group is still going strong, so let’s keep up the fitness until we can play again. 💪💪💪

‘What is the importance of Black leadership in rugby and the importance of representation in our game?’

Janeisha Elliott, Nomads Women’s Player, shares her thoughts: 👇🏿

“When I first started playing rugby somebody asked me why am I playing a white man’s sport, and that I’m tall and I should play basketball (but basketball was invented by a white man but we’re not gonna get into that right now 😂). But that got me thinking, I love playing rugby, I don’t think it’s a white man’s sport, yes it is predominantly white but doesn’t make it a white man’s sport. But there’s not a lot of athletes that look like me.

Rugby is described as a sport that is all inclusive and players show a lot of respect for the refs, as one person puts it “if you can take the beating you’re welcome to play.” Being a POC playing this game we love there’s not a lot of athletes that look like me. That could be for a whole number of reasons, one major reason is the lack of representation.

It’s one thing to talk about Black representation and it’s another thing to put into action. How? Black representation in rugby starts by showcasing some of the Black athletes and coaches more after Black history month ends ex. giving shout outs at random. Showcasing awesome Black Athletes and coaches Iike Asia Hogan and Arielle Dubissette-Borrice (that’s who comes to mind when I think about some strong Black kickass women in rugby).

The importance of Black leadership in rugby is letting black athletes and other POC athletes know that they’re welcome to play, and they should sign up and try something new. No matter how much I had to put out there, having somebody who looks like them will make some more willing to come play. Also having somebody who doesn’t look like you so you can learn from each other.”
