Channel Islands Tour August 1925
Nomads spent a week in the Channel Isles split between Jersey and Guernsey with five matches including two two day games. Bad weather disrupted the tour with the result that Wednesday’s game in Guernsey was cancelled while both the two day games were reduced by rain, Charles James Tomlin Pool the former Northants skipper captained Nomads scoring 129 runs while Mordaunt Henry Casper Doll the former Middlesex and MCC cricketer took 15 wickets.
In the last two games a teenage HNE Alston played against Nomads. After WW2 he became a Nomads Legend.
