WEEK 15 - Tuesday, 25/05/10, Pick out.

While Pick winged his way to Las Vegas with the winning Vineyard Vultures team, the Cobras found themselves trekking to Mulgoa Road Penrith for our first visit as a team to the Grey Gums.

I took my new toy, the Yamaharley (XVS 650 Classic) for a run down the M4 with my cues over my shoulders and the team folder under my jacket.

When you factored in their -10 female, the Grey Gums had a team score of 2.5, meaning the Cobras gave them 25 at the top and another 2.5 at the bottom.

This week our aim was a little more modest. We just wanted to win, sans Pick. In fact that remained our aim for the 3 games Pick would miss. If we could win all 3, by any margin, we'd be delighted!

The first round didn't go exactly to plan, with only CB and Pup picking up wins. Hooters and Diddy both lost on the black, which limited the damage, but we were still 27 behind as we went into the 2nd round.

In the 2nd Hooters lost on the black while Dux, CB, Diddy and Pup all won their games, bringing the margin back to -18 going into the 3rd round.

In the 3rd, the Cobras put their foot down, winning all 5 games with Hooter's 10-3 the pick of the round and the Cobras were 15 in front going into the 4th.

Diddy lost on the black to start off the round but Hooters, Dux and CB all won their games to carry a 20 point margin into the 5th and deciding round.

Pup, Hooters and Dux all lost their games which reduced the margin to just 3.5, but CB won his game to add 5 to the margin and Diddy finally won his, capping off a solid night for the Cobras.

Hooters managed a positive for & against despite only winning 2 games, and Pup, Dux & Diddy all provided solid support (with 3 wins a piece) to CB who slotted into Pick's spot and seemed right at home, with 5 wins and a +22 margin on the night. Well done CB!!

Grey Gums 210 - Eastern Creek Cobras 222.5.

And so the Cobras improve their away record to over 50% (now 4 wins from 7 away, to compliment their 8 wins from 8 starts at home), taking the Cobras to 80.00% win/loss record (12 wins and 3 losses).
