The hosts opened the scoring in the seventh minute, Corey Armeni netting direct from a corner.

Defender Jason Field - who went between the sticks in the reverse fixture following an injury to keeper James Lambley - donned the gloves again as Jake Askew found himself sin binned just before the break.

Field kept a shut out in his stint before Armeni put Nomads 2-0 from a free kick on the edge of the Lilywhites’ box.
