Winning is a habit...

Last night saw the mighty Cobras side of 2008 start their season with a great win against a perky and physical Clarendon side, who came out firing.

The Cobras won the toss and elected to run against a stiff south easter, which by this stage we are so used to when playing rugby on the Green Mile. The talk before the game was that they were going to come out firing, and we just needed to suck in the pressure and remain calm under the early pressure, something that we have learnt from experience of last years final. Clarendon scored first after attacking the Cobras line for a good 10 minutes, the defence was solid all night but a lack in communication let them go over. We knew this could very well happen and were well prepared for being down in the first ten minutes. The Cobras then started to build confidence and structure, after the rust had finally dissapeared. Cobras struck back with a well worked forward try, they really showed their dominance over a much bigger pack with true heart and courage, was a magnificent display by the young Cobras forwards.

Straight after the re-start the Cobras collected the ball deep in their own 22 only to pass it through 7 or 8 hands from side to side to put flying winger Dillon X over in the corner, it was one of the greatest tries ever by the Cobras, and possibly one of the greatest tries ever witnessed on the Green Mile, it was true class and its ability like this where the Cobras are going to be so dangerous. This made the Cobras click and the second half was a one way game with the Cobras dominating the pikey Clarendon side with the most disgusting supporters ever seen on the Green Mile, that guy in the black top, please stand up, Cunt. We let the ball do the talking while Clarendon let the yobs on the side do their talkin, only to piss the ref and pretty much everyone on the Green Mile off, is this the type of support we going to get this year?

With a final score of 38-5 the Cobras showed their true determination, commitment, calmness and experience in games like these. If we see more rugby like this from the young side, we are destined to top our group table.

Cheeky fines meeting was enjoyed by all, and now the tone is set for the rest of the season, bigger and greater things to come, game against Smuts next week, another res side, let's hope they are not supported by Pikeys either, as after all they are seen as an academic res, so let's hope for the best. The oke in the black shirt, you're a wanker.

Hoist up the Cobras sail!
