Three from three!

UCT Cobras were in no joking mood yesterday when they ran circle around an average College House side. Running in 7 unanswered tries the Cobras were simply too good for their opponents who put up very little resistance. After some referee disputes the game finally got underway and was subsequently shortened (who knows what the score could have been if the game went the usual 1 hour).

Despite the rain and battling the customary Green Mile driving wind the Cobras controlled procession from the outset and managed four tries before the half time break. Running the ball from all corners the rejuvenated Cobras looked at no time in danger of losing. Apart from their slick hands and the ensuing try fest, the communication on defence was impressive. Not giving an inch the 2008 champions kept their try line in tack for the second week in a row. Points for 74 and points against 7 thus far in 2010. With the forwards, starting where they left off in the second stanza against the Spanners the previous week, gained their side front foot ball as they executed brilliant control and patients at the break down whilst the backline did the finishing. The Cobras truly are dangerous when they spread the ball wide as last night was no exception. With great hands, brilliant angles run and superb support play the Cobras turned the shortened game turn into a long night for the UCT residence.

Final score 54-0.

As a result the Cobras finish top of their log and are looking on to the next round.
