NAME: Graham “Young Man” Young
DATE OF BIRTH: Has he been born yet
POSITION: Centre/Wing
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: Young and Younger
CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies
TEAM: Nomads
ADDITIONAL INFO: Being the youngest man in the world, Youngie does have the lack of experience excuse on his side for blowing a clear overlap. However a “twisted” ankle in a game earlier this season makes us think that he may have learnt his lesson! Also has an addition to chocolate and will eat enough brownies to make him sick given half a chance!

NAME: Chris “Woocy” Wood
DATE OF BIRTH: ?
POSITION: Centre/Wing
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: Short and heavy
CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies
TEAM: Nomads
ADDITIONAL INFO: Don’t led Woocy’s follicly challenged mop fool you – he is younger than he looks (although obviously not as young as the young man!). Perhaps the only man in the squad who can keep pace with Matt Thomas in the degenerate stakes.

NAME: Tom “Boy Band” Dyson
DATE OF BIRTH: 1991
POSITION: Centre
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: You’ll have to check out my fan club website for the inside gossip.
CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies
TEAM: Nomads
ADDITIONAL INFO: Boy Band is blessed with pop star looks and a bald wing man (Woody). Whilst he is a danger to the fairer sex, the more seasoned tourers amongst us are concerned about the intentions of the BGB!

NAME: “Kiwi Dan” Hart
DATE OF BIRTH: 1975
POSITION: 1st Five
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: enough and enough
CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies
TEAM: Nomads
ADDITIONAL INFO: Kiwi Dan brings some much needed southern hemisphere grunt to the party – although suspicions have been raised by his choice of clothing which includes jeans covered in zips. Less said the better!

NAME: Graeme “Woogy” Wood
DATE OF BIRTH: 1978
POSITION: Utility
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6′1″, A lot more carrying that forearm pad!
CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies
TEAM: Nomads
ADDITIONAL INFO: Claims that Woody had pace at school remain as yet unfounded, he shows acceleration unseen since the heyday of the Scottish motor industry. However Mr Thomas has singled him out as a man that he would like to take under his wing on tour – take an umbrella Woody G!
NAME: Joseph “Ooh, Northern Boys love Gravy” Bryan
DATE OF BIRTH: N/A
POSITION: Stand Off
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6′2″, heavy
CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies
TEAM: Nomads
ADDITIONAL INFO: Joe regularly puts the back row to shame with his big hits. However his use of “gripping gloves” do give rise to concern that he may not be a true Northern boy. STOP PRESS – Joe has shamefully reverted to the association form of the football game.

NAME: Jonathan “JonBarr” Barr
DATE OF BIRTH: 1976
POSITION: Blindside Flanker
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6′3″, 15.5 stone
CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies

DATE OF BIRTH: N/A
POSITION: Full Back
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6′3″, 15.5 stone
CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies
TEAM: Nomads
ADDITIONAL INFO: Billy Whizz has raucous pace and his fitness is directly attributable to the fact that he covers more ground in a match than David Beckham due to his penchant for running sideways. Has been known to enjoy a good verbal ruccus with the oppo.

NAME: Andrew “side-step” Bracken
DATE OF BIRTH: PE ( Pre-Ed)
POSITION: Wing
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6 foot odd and enough
CONTACT DETAILS: Dixies
TEAM: Nomads
ADDITIONAL INFO: The older of the Bracken brothers, Andrew had already scored several times this season before he actually carried the ball over the try-line. Has since made up for it with some devastating broken field running.
