Final game of semester

The Cobras go into their final league game of the semester against a fairly unknown Cape Tech Cats team. The two sides have met once before with The Cobras taking the win, but as this team is fairly unknown it is important that The Cobras remain focused and come out firing. The Cobras romped to a 39-0 win over the Shebeen Boys last Friday evening in a friendly, and will be looking to keep up their momentum going into this Wednesday's clash.

Internal League 2013 is here

The Cobras open their 2013 Internal League campaign with an opener against Panthers this Wednesday night. After a successful and tough Varsity Cup campaign the men in purple and white will be looking to come out firing and set the tone for what will without doubt be another awesome year of Cobras Rugby. After two successful campaigns in 2011 and 2012, 2013 will without doubt be another tough season and no game can be taken lightly. The Cobras will be running out for the 64th time in the UCT Internal League with not having lost on the Green Mile in the last 22 appearances, hoping to make this Wednesday the 23rd in a row. 

It looks set to be another fantastic day on the Green Mile with a rare daytime kick off and it's important that The Cobras get out the blocks early and set the tone for another year of Cobras Rugby.

New man in the spotlight

Seb enjoying his first fines session with The Cobras

Our latest reporter on campus was able to catch 2012 A1 star hooker who has recently joined the Cobras, Sebastian James Matheson. 

So Sebastian, do you mind if we ask you a few questions on how the year so far is going for you?

Ag ya mehn, you well? ya I'm doing well, very relaxed, have the hottest eco's tutor ah man... Sorry... carry on..

Tell us a little about yourself?

Well, theres plenty to say, Names sebastian james peter matheson, schooled at bishops, matriculated in 2010, played rugby for bishops, was head of discipline during my matric year. This is the first year playing for the purple cobras, hobbies consist of boozing hard (some say its a problem, I say its a solution) i enjoy a good braai with good people who have interesting things to say. Dont have much to say on religion and chicks (helluva confusing) otherwise enjoys a good day out fishing and boozing.

"COBRAS!"

Where did you first hear about the Cobras and decide to play for us?

Heard about it in 2010, played for uct in 2011 and 2012 and heard about the cobras through many people, dino loizides, callan artus.

What has been your best memory so far with the Cobras? 

Well I've only had a few moments with the cobras, so far definitely the banter at practise and our first warm up game as well as the first drinking session wich took place after the warm up game, really enjoyed the brotherhood, eventhough there were many new faces.

Are you single or in a relationship?

Single at the moment. Am looking for beautiful women looking to put out. Always horny.

Complete Focus

Who is your Cobras role model and why?

Callan artus, just is so committed to the cobras, not only on the field but off the field with regards to admin and getting things sorted out.

What is your favorite Cobras song?

At the moment, blake gowar's. just love the melody it has to offer.

What is your best bird watching spot on campus?

Jammie steps, just has a wide view as well as a birds eyes view, great.

Where is your favorite place to joll?

probably claremont or kelvin, forries and the cobras bar, or dinos digs.

Standard end of year trip to Plett Rage

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

probably very successful, and just having the same views on drinking.

Beer or spirits?

Spirits, harder kick, and much tougher battle to overcome when i am hungover in the morning, sense of accomplishment.

Cobras For the Title this year?

Absolutely, had a few doubts in pre season about the commitment from oaks, but as we approach our first game, really do believe we have a good shot at winning the title.

Na na na na na na na! na na na na... Nico!

Ex- Cobras Champion of 2011 will be in action for the Ikey Tigers 2nyt starting at 13, pull in to the Green Mile to show your support.

OH SO BRAVE

One Step Closer.

The first game of the Cobras Season of 2013 was played last saturday against the UCT A1s, the weather was very confusing at the best of times, hard rain of most of the morning was followed by clear skies and searing heat for kickoff. The game was tight, with the Cobras pack meeting them up front, showing that they mean business for this Varsity Cup campaign. The back line started to gel well and line breaks were becoming more and more frequent, resulting in debutant Cobra, Nick Dos Santos, to pounce on a loose ball and score a try to put us into the lead. In a match where we dominated for most of the game, it was lack of match fitness that let us down, conceding 2 tries in the 2nd half. It was more than understandable playing against a team has been training for 4 months as opposed to 4 weeks. The brand of rugby played was once again of a high standard, as was the standard of energy in fines and we can look positively to our first game on the 4th of March. Congrats to Dale Austin who picked up the first Man of the Match Award for the year.
