UNDER 13
Division 1
Cobras Walter 5.8 (38) def by St Mary’s Rodgers 6.6 (42)
The Cobras remain super competitive, having worked hard over the past few weeks without recording a win. We led at every change, only to see St Mary’s get ahead in the last few minutes. Captain Ben Pennisi was dominant again, while Jamieson Hallam massively curbed the influence of one of the best players in the competition. Awards: Jamieson Hallam, Ben Pennisi, Lachlan Norton, Alex Gibbon.
Division 4
Cobras Pearson 9.6 (60) def Ammos Westy 1.4 (10)
George Every led the way early with tackling and spoiling pressure inside 50. Koby Millar-Burton presented well in front of goals, benefiting from the run and carry of Cooper Brown and Tommy Walsh. Riley Stone was rock solid in defence and the Cobras were able to capitalise on their good work.
Division 7
Cobras Every 12.5 (77) def South Barwon Thompson 4.3 (27)
After a slow start and an old-fashioned rev up at half time, Every kicked into gear. Noah Waterman and Shay Kilpatrick led the way in the midfield with plenty of help from all around the contests. Jarrah Hay and Oli Terhorst gave us plenty of drive down back and Austin Webber kicked four majors in a great performance. Brodie Styles, Arch Fleet and Shay Kilpatrick kicked two goals each, with Richie Emma–Nnop and Archie Moran both adding majors to the tally.
Division 8
Cobras Dean 2.1 (13) def by Corio 10.10 (70)
After a slow first half against ladder leader Corio, our team came together in the second half with some fantastic team play. Henry White, Ben Cirillo and Max Connell displayed great attack on the ball and run out of the backline, while Adam Geracitano and Alex Morgan had plenty of the ball, with Alex kicking our two goals. Mark of the day went to Jack Voss. Awards: Henry White, Alex Morgan, Ben Cirillo, Max Connell.
UNDER 11
Cobras Farrell 4.4 (28) def Ammos Cogan 3.6 (24)
With Kai Dickson gathering possessions at will up forward and Max Howell getting to lots of contests we controlled the first half. A few concentration lapses in the second half allowed Ammos back into the match and it was a tight finish. Thanks to under-10s Liam Staehr and Reuben Cook for stepping up. Both acquitted themselves well. Awards: Kai Dickson, Max Howell, Keegan Johnson.
Cobras McManus 4.4 (28) def by Geelong West Giants 5.10 (40)
Cobras Moroney 1.2 (8) def by Ammos Kangars 2.6 (18)
The boys played four quarters to a set game plan and executed it well, keeping their opponents’ score low. Highlights included the run and carry of Alex Morgan, Charlie Eales clearing the ball in contests and Alfie Kilpatrick working hard on his kicking to rack up lots of disposals. Cooper Reilly was hard at the contest, with Arthur White showing great attack up forward. Awards: Alex Morgan, Charlie Eales, Alfie Kilpatrick, Cooper Reilly, Arthur White. Golden Fist: Henry Belsar-LeBel.
UNDER 10
Cobras O’Keefe 3.3 (21) def by Torquay Coleman 7.12 (54)
Cobras Cordy 3.1 (19) def by St Joseph’s Jumping 12.11 (83)
The score did not reflect the contest, which was extremely hard fought and competitive. We saw great hard tackling efforts from Emmett Haxby and Sebastian Carnivale. Will McMaster took some great defensive marks and Rhys O’Neil was in and under the packs all day.
Cobras Jones 0.1 (1) def by Torquay Voss 13.9 (87)
Torquay was a good team that gave us a lesson in how to play in front and be first to the ball. It was a great captain’s game from Miller Wellard, while Fletcher Atkinson continued to impress in his first year of footy and Molly O’Keefe tackled well. Awards: Toby Duckett, Devlin Mateo, Xavier Monahan, Ned Lewis.
UNDER 9
Cobras Allan 2.0 (12) def by Eagles West 6.9 (45)
A standout moment this week was Hayden Campbell streaming down the ‘grandstand’ wing, centering the ball into the forward line where Austin Rose ran onto the bouncing ball and snaffled a left-foot goal. Another great goal to Billy Bianco followed a magnificent handball from Harry Banks. Awards: Nash Pascoe, Riley Stephens, John Bowring.
Cobras Dalton 4.5 (29) def by Leopold Dews 4.6 (30)
Cobras Norquay 3.5 (23) def by Drysdale Rogulskyj 3.6 (24)
Both sides played great footy in what was a tight home game. The result went down to the wire when Drysdale kicked a goal in the final minute to grab a one-point lead. Awards: Ry Wilson, Brodie Edmond, Baxter Hodgson, Finn Briggs.
Cobras Stow 4.7 (31) def by St Joseph’s Leaping 7.11 (53)
While very competitive, we weren’t quite good enough against a bigger and stronger team in the undefeated St Joseph’s Leaping. It was great to see the kids much stronger over the ball as the game went on, resulting in goals to our team. Awards: Xander Hateley, Jude de Jong, Dylan Atkins, Brodie Munn.
