Loyal Cobra plays 150th game
Congratulations to Mark Marsay who plays his 150th game for the Logan Cobras this week-end.
Mark played his first game for the club in 2000, his 50th game in 2003 and his 100th game in 2005. From his early days at the club Mark regularly played above his age group and quickly gathered a reputation for his strong, reliable style of footy. He has played at both ends of the ground with equal success and during his stint as a key defender in the under 12’s Mark earned the nick-name “The Rock” for his solid defensive work in repelling many opposition attacks.
Mark puts 100% effort into every game he plays and in more recent seasons he has demonstrated natural leadership through the way he trains and plays plus the vocal encouragement he provides to his teammates. Now in his eighth season with the Cobras, Mark enjoyed premiership success in 2006 as a key forward in the under 14’s team and, although still eligible for under 14’s in 2007, Mark chose to stick with his premiership teammates and join them in the under 16’s this season.
A great effort Mark. Be proud of your achievement and we look forward to you playing your 200th game.
Match Report Under 10’s Round 14
V’s Redlands Grey 11-8-07
Our last home game of the year and once again the boys competed hard all day against a well balanced Redlands side. After a patchy first three quarters the boys really turned it on in the last quarter to produce our best period of football for the season. The boys in the centre continually won the ball and pumped it in to the forward line, where the forwards shared the ball unselfishly which led to easy goals for the team. On the few occasions the ball went into the Redlands forward line, our backline held firm and cleared the ball out quickly. Well done boys, lets finish the season on a positive note and keep up the good work this week against Wynnum. Congratulations to our captain Steven Phillips who played a superb game and he has taken his game to another level this season. Thank you to Wade Thomas, who handled the time keeping, Cathy Cameron, who looked after the first aid and Nathan Bennett who did an excellent job of the goal umpiring.
Match report under 10’s Round 13
V Redlands White 28-7-07 The boys bounced back from a disappointing game last week to display probably our best team performance of the season. Every player in the team got involved and attacked the football, so we were first to the ball and able to use our hand balling and kicking to pass to a team mate in a better position. There was also a marked improvement in our defensive skills which meant we tackled, chased and picked up an opposition player when we did not have the ball. Well done boys and keep up the good work over the final two games of the season. Congratulations to our Captain Jesse Longden who has really improved his skills over the season and he is becoming a valuable member of the team, well done Jesse and keep working hard at training. Thank you to Tania Bennett who had a busy day doing First Aid and Todd Bone who looked after the goal umpiring.
