The Nomads took the lead in the 23^rd minute, goal scorer Rees’s returned the compliment as his cross fell to Picton, the teenage striker swivelled in the box and drilled home.
 
Two minutes after half time the Nomads’ offside trap got caught out as Danny Hopkin took advantage to equalise.
 
In the 80^th minute Chandler’s stunning strike won the day for the Nomads as the Sports were left to lick their wounded pride.
