All man!

Cobras Jose Mourinho was lucky enough to be able to have a little ‘catch up’ with 2010 skipper Callan ‘Fetish’ Artis. ‘After tearing him away from the books in the African Studies section of the UCT library, I managed to convince him to join me at the post grad pub for a beer and a banter. Whether intended or not this is what prevailed’, Jose added.

What’s it like being the captain of the Cobras for 2010?

‘Being Captain of the Cobra's has been nothing but an honor and a dream come true.
The positon comes with alot of responsibility and pressure but with a side like ours I am confident I can lead the boys to glory’.

Can the Cobras finish on top again this year after their first league win in 2008?

‘2010 is definitely going to be a good year for us and I think winning the title is a realistic goal we must set ourselves and work hard to achieve. As long as we get down to Cecil each week with a little desire to win, I see no team that deserves it more than us. It is important that the guys indivually want the trophy and that they realise that each Cobra's victory is a step towards our goal’.
