Ramsey won the away leg by just six points back in September and the Mooragh Park rematch promised another close encounter however a ruthless Ramsey side put in a clinical first half performance to lead 50-0 at the break and close the game out with a huge 79-5 win.
The action started in the fourth minute when Ramsey centre Conor Goodall ran a perfect line through the defence and raced in under the posts. Tom Moffatt kicked the first of his seven conversions. With just over ten minutes played Ramsey doubled the lead. The forwards this time did the hard yards and skipper Matt Meechan crashed in from close range for the first of his hat trick. Moffatt added the extras for a 14-0 lead.
As the twenty minute mark approached Ramsey went in again. The Corteen brothers Josh and Jacob had got their side into good field position deep in the Nomads half. Scrum half Sam Corlett pulled the trigger on his back line with some quick ball and safe hands found Jake Richmond who bagged the first of his three.
By this stage Ramsey were throwing the ball around with abandon. The moves were coming off, the passes were sticking and the pace was kept so high Nomads couldn’t cope. Tries swiftly followed. Meechan made a big run in for his second. Jake Richmond broke down the right flank and Will Millsopp finished it off. Brayden Roche hacked one downfield and won the footrace. Josh Corteen galloped in after breaking the line and Josh Leece finished off a set back move from the training ground. All the time Moffatt was adding conversions and when it was all tallied up, Ramsey had a 50-0 half time lead.
When the second half got underway there was more of the same. Jake Richmond bagged two quick ones in the opening five minutes to complete his hat trick. Ramsey then rang some changes. Off came Micheal Flynn, Jake Richmond and Brayden Roche and on went Ryan Wren, Dave Keenan and Connor Casey. This slowed down the scoring rate a little as Ramsey adjusted to the new personnel. Once adjusted, Connor Casey was in for a score wide on the right and Meechan completed his hat trick to make it 74-0.
To Nomads credit, they kept plugging away. Richard Seed worked tirelessly for little reward and George Callister sniped around the fringes like a terrier. Eventually they were rewarded when with ten to play, Tom Collister wriggled across the line for a well deserved consolation try. It was however Ramsey who had the final say when replacement Dave Keenan slipped clear down the left wing to score the final try of the game.
