Nomads 2 and Highbury 1 meet at Glyn School with the London Regional League table still taking shape, but with points already separating the chasing pack from the early pacesetters. For Nomads it’s a chance to turn mixed form into momentum, while Highbury arrive with only one result on the board but a standout goal difference.

The Story So Far

After 16 of 72 league games have been completed, Nomads 2 sit 5th with 4 points from five matches (GD -7), while Highbury 1 are 6th on 2 points from a single game (GD +16). With fewer than three games played for some sides, these positions are provisional, but the early returns show Nomads having to grind through a tougher opening schedule and Highbury still with most of their season ahead of them.

Nomads’ recent sequence reads WLLWL (75 scored, 82 conceded), and their split shows they’ve been inconsistent at Glyn School so far (home: LW) as well as on the road (away: WLL). Highbury’s only recorded form line is a 26-10 away win, leaving them with a strong early defensive marker but very limited sample size compared to Nomads’ five-game stretch. The last time these teams met was last season, when Nomads won 21-19 away before a 15-15 draw at Glyn School.

What's At Stake

• If Nomads 2 win: they move to 6 points, strengthening their hold on the mid-table group and cutting into the gap to the top four, with a chance to turn their negative goal difference around after conceding 82 across five games.
• If Highbury 1 win: they would double their points tally to 4 from just two matches and, with multiple games in hand on teams around them, put themselves right alongside Nomads despite having played far fewer fixtures.
• If it’s a draw: Nomads add a point that keeps them edging forward after a stop-start start, while Highbury would still be unbeaten but remain behind the pace on points with their schedule still heavily back-loaded.
