After 3 seasons, we finally have played a game where we can say we played well all night. The match started with Heroes on D, and a mistake from Cobra's near our end zone saw us take the first point. Defensive pressure saw another 2 turn overs and Heroes take the first 3 points. The fourth one was a bit longer, and I don't know who scored it, but we got out to 5-1 from some inspirational play from Bevan and lovely shots from S.G. Chris Brown got involved with some grabs in the end zone, and also some lovely flick hucks, one out of two coming off.
Sebastian didn't get any help with some throws his way being wayward, but he ended up with some nice grabs to finish off. Cobra's got angry with themselves but this only meant that Kailin & friends would demand the disc so that he could huck it to a 50/50 option. It turned out more like 80/20 I guess.
It can be said that Cobras did not play well and had a number of unforced errors. The pleasing thing is that we cannot recall any drops that we had that were uncontested and we managed to capitalise for a change. Confidence was high as we went to 8-2, taking the half convincingly.
Some desperate huck plays came off for Cobras, but it was neither enough to lift their team or to phase us. We won the second half 7-4, so that's 15-6 final score, the first time we have closed out a game before time cap.
We've beaten the Cobras 3 times now, and they have beaten us 3 times. We haven't beaten any other teams, but that's gonna change over the next 3 weeks!
