The team got away to a very slow start and for the first half of the game they were out scored by a very well drilled Redlands team. After half time the team played the type of football we are capable of and made Redlands work hard for every possession. The backline played particularly well and all over the field the Cobras played good aggressive football to gradually work our way back into the game and we finished all over the top of Redlands.

Well done to our captain Bailey Nichols who celebrated his 50th game for the Cobras with a typically whole hearted performance. Bailey has really put his head down this season and his improved efforts at training are starting to show on match days. Congratulations to our Award winners, Dylan Sipple who never stopped running and attacked the ball hard all game and Travis Miller who also worked hard during the game. Travis has also shown more commitment to training this season and his skill level has improved greatly.

Many thanks to all of our helpers Josh Balm who handled the time keeping, John Balm who looked after First Aid, Anton and Jay who ran water, Chris Elves who was the runner and Neil Jones who was our goal umpire.

Once again we jumped out of the blocks and for the first part of the game we were well on top of the opposition. We used the ball very well and created plenty of scoring opportunities for our forward line and when Coorparoo had the ball we applied plenty of pressure and forced them to make mistakes with their disposal of the football.

However once again we eased off and let Coorparoo back into the game when we stopped manning up, chasing and tackling. During the third quarter we gradually worked our way back into the game and played some of the football we are capable of and during the last quarter we were once again the dominant team on the field.

Well done team but lets try for a consistent four quarter effort from now on.

Congratulations to our Captain Jesse Longden who played a major part in our comeback during the later part of the game and well done to our award winners Blake Rhodes who worked hard and constantly won the ball and created opportunities for his team mates and to Jason Bennett who marked strongly and always used the ball well with his hand and foot passing.

Thanks to Rhys Carr who handled the goal umpiring and Todd Bone and Jay Longden who looked after the water running duties.

The team bounced away to a great start and for the first half of the game, played some outstanding team football. Every time we had the ball we used great foot and hand passing to set up numerous goal scoring opportunities. Our chasing and tackling was also first class and we constantly forced Mt Gravatt into making errors with the ball. After half time we let Mt Gravatt back into the game when we relaxed and gave the opposition too much space and allowed them to kick easy goals. However in the last few minutes we once again produced some good football to kick the last few goals of the game.

Congratulations to our captain Steven Phillips who led form the front and played an outstanding game. And well done to our award winners Hayden Sym who also played a great game and Nikita Kemenyvary who attacked every contest and worked hard to keep the ball in the forward line.

Thank you to all of our match day helpers. Jodie and Callum who ran water, Chris Kemenyvary who handled the goal umpiring and to Chris Elves who helped with the running.
