The Lucky Commandos came to play at the Snakepit and with the Cobras still hanging on to 3rd spot, it was on from the first bell.
During the week the powers that be had reviewed things and made some rather puzzling decisions.
The Lucky Breaks, who so far have not lost a game were left untouched.
The Lucky Commandos, who are in 2nd place, lost 2.5 off their collective handicap, courtesy of Moose dropping from 17.5 to 15.
The Eastern Creek Cobras, who sit precariously in 3rd spot, gained 2.5 onto their collective handicap, courtesy of Diddy going from 7.5 to 10.
I'm sure that makes a lot of sense to someone. Somewhere. Somehow.
In addition Pick and Diddy discussed the opportunity we had with Dux to get him in capable of playing for us during the playoffs. This was particularly important if Diddy ended up being overseas for one of the first weekends in July, which while remote, remained a possibility as a family wedding was scheduled for that time in Fiji.
Pup was flying to Brisbane with work in the morning, so volunteered to take the first roster shift off once he established Dux was right to play.
With all of these moves and changes, the Commandos gave the Cobras a measly 15 point start at the top, with the Cobras retaining the 7.5 down the bottom thanks to Hooters.
The first round was a ripper for the fired up Cobras side.
The Cobras won every game, with a 10-2 to Pick the highlight and the margin was out to 40.
In the 2nd Dux and Pick won their games, but bad losses to the rest meant the margin was back to 25 going into the 3rd.
The 3rd was almost a net even round with Diddy and CB winning their games and Dux losing on the black and the margin was 22.
Pick and CB won their 4th round games with Dux again narrowly losing on the black, meaning that the Cobras took a mere 14 points into the final round.
Hooters book ended her night with a win in the last and Diddy picked up another with Pick losing on the black and together with Hooters 7.5 at the bottom, it was enough to ensure the Cobras won the encounter by a comfortable 15.5 points.
Eastern Creek Cobras 212.5 - Lucky Commandos 197.
And so the Cobras retained their unbeaten record at the Snakepit (now 6 from 6 at home), taking us to 76.92% win/loss record (10 and 3).
