Diddy spoke to CB during the week to advise him he was rostered out this week, although he had initially thought to leave Hooters out, given she's played the most games of any of the roster. But Pick wanted to go for max points which meant bringing Hooters in for the game.
The Hustlers had a team score of zip, meaning the Cobras gave them 47.5 point start. If we wanted max points, we would need to score over 97 points more than the Hustlers on the night, a big ask for any team.
The first round didn't go exactly to plan, but it was a good start. Diddy was the pick of the round with a 10-3, Pup and Pick also picked up wins and both Dux and Hooters lost on the black and we were 38 behind.
In the 2nd Hooters, Dux and Pick all won their games with Pick's 10-3 the best for the round, but losses to Pup and Diddy meant the Cobras were still 32 in arrears and the focus switched to just winning, rather than the max points the Cobras had been focussed on achieving earlier.
In the 3rd, the momentum finally swung towards the Cobras, who won all 5 games with Pup's 10-3 the pick of the round and they were only 7 behind going into the 4th.
The 4th looked just like the 3rd with the Cobras again winning 5 games and Diddy 10-3 the highlight, with the Cobras taking a lead of 17 points into the final round.
The chance to win by max points seemed remote, particularly when Hooters lost on the black in her final match, but Pup saved his best to last, putting on a promised 10-0 display and when Dux and Pick both won their games comfortably, quick calculations meant that Diddy only needed to scratch out a 10-4 win for max points to be achieved.
Alas it was not to be. Diddy did not play to his potential and scraped home 10-7, leaving the Cobras just 3 points shy of the elusive max points target.
Eastern Creek Cobras 237.5 - Carousel Inn Hustlers 190.5.
And so the Cobras retained their unbeaten record at the Snakepit (now 7 from 7 at home), taking us to 78.57% win/loss record (11 and 3).
