The Cobras made it two from two in the 2010 UCT internal league when they defeated a defiant Spanners outfit on Wednesday evening. A characteristically icy and blustery windy Green Mile played host to the sea- saw battle. It was a game of two halves which saw the Cobras struggle to control possession in the first spell as they played with the wind advantage. The Spanners met the Cobras with aggression and often very competitive opposition. With opportunities being missed by both sides, which saw all too many ‘final passes’ not go to hand and, as the strong wind continued to play its spoiling role, neither side seemed to get out of first gear. Moments before the half time break the Cobras managed to score, taking a 5-0 lead into the shed.
The second half was a different affair however, as the Cobras came out more composed, and the change was noticeable. Now playing into the wind, which is never an easy feat, the forwards controlled the break down and the backline turned possession into field advantage. Controlling the breakdown the Cobras managed to starve the Spanners of possession and without the ball they simply could not get on the score board. After sustained pressure the Cobras forwards, who stood up and were accounted for in the second spell, forced their way over the Spanners line for the second time in the game to make the score 10- zip, as it remained till the final whistle.
Cobras unbeaten...
