Nomads in the Media
A summary of some of the local and national news coverage related to Killinghall Nomads and our fantastic members (and International Superstar Footballers!).
CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR YAA
On 3rd February 2024, Killinghall Nomads U6 players and Nomads legend Chris Dixon presented the giant ceremonial cheque to Jane Horrod, Community Fundraiser at Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
