The
2008 Nomads under-18s
Under
18s
(Born on or after January 1, 1992)
The Nomads U18s had a very good season- bolstered by some of the more experienced U16s, the squad provided many very exciting rugby games. They played hard, competitive rugby, they represented the Nomads proudly on and off the field.
The U18s are composed of players from over a dozen Toronto schools including Northern Secondary, North Toronto, Humberside, Riverdale, Oakwood, UTS, Leaside, Crescent and more. The Nomads provided coaching assistance at Northern S.S., North Toronto, Humberside, Oakwood, UTS, Leaside, Riverdale, CHAT and others.
Lead by coach Aaron Cowie and assisted by Robert Maxim “Max” the U18s were a very competitive team in a very competitive league.
The U18s coaches are looking forward to the coming season. 2009 will carry on and build on last year’s successes. There is a very strong contingent of the Ontario Finalists U16s moving up and they are very keen to play hard solid rugby.
As mentioned above, the U18s will train as a squad but in tandem with the U16s. The final details of dates, times and locations will be published on the Nomads website.
The U18s were a very talented group of athletes and rugby players- it made it very difficult to select those who best represented their team and their teammates.
