Pennants 🤨- You know the saying about somebody “comes crashing back to earth” – ever wondered how a Cobra does that? It still comes with a thud 💥But not all doom, the Cobra 🐍 5s continue to fly high despite the other grades having a less than successful weekend.
Starting with the 5s, what a big win over Belconnen at the SnakePit 🐍 taking the 12pts and running out 78-54 winners 🤩. Well led again by the rink of the ‘Quiet Assassin’ Ken Derbyshire with a 12 shot win. The ‘TJ’ Terry Jarvie rink had a solid 7 shot final gap while the ‘Uber’ O’Brien rink also got up by 5 👏. Off to Turner next week for an away game → good luck Canberra North 😉
Not all was rosy at the SnakePit however as the visiting Crookwell 2s shook the Cobras to the tune of 86-43. The Cobras did manage a rink win through Dave Lindbeck’s team getting up with a neat last shot draw to seal the 2pts. The rink led by ‘Big H’ Horace Williams went down by 7 while the significant damage was inflicted by the ruthless Hills led rink getting up by *cough* 38 🛑
Our top grade had a bit of a glitch out at the sublime greens at QRSLM, going down to the Diggers 52-59 (2-10), with the rink of Jimmy ‘the Jet’ Reynolds picking up the lone 2pts 🤙. Rinks of Sargeant and Smith went down by 1 and 7 shots respectively. The lads are off to the other Queanbeyan location next week, along with the Cobra 6ers also being hosted on the lush greens of Queanbeyan Bowlers Association.
Meanwhile, a positive performance by the super 6ers out at Yass, going down, but only 55-60. A strong performance by Keith ‘the Professor’ Pickard’s rink winning 22-15 kept the Cobras 🐍 in the hunt. Hats off to ‘the Professor’ taking a mentoring role with some new bowlers 🫡. The unit is improving and will be on an upward trajectory as the season progresses.
Strike Hard Cobras 🐍
