Cobras-1 win a tight match over Celtic Warriors

Cobras-1 victorious over Celtic Warriors

Cobras-1 match 10 of 12 – 8/3/09

Leicester Cobras-1 - 49 v Celtic Warriors - 42

Once again the Cobras were fielding a 1st team squad that was not the usual line-up for their match against the Celtic Warriors. The first two quarters were extremely close with the Cobras just edging out a two point lead by half time. Both teams were matching each other basket for basket.

In the third quarter the Cobras started to stamp their authority on the match building up a 10 point lead over the Warriors.

The Celtic Warriors put in a determined fight back in the last quarter scoring their match best of 16 points; but it was too late for them to overhaul the Cobras lead.

Top scorer for the Cobras was Jayant Mistry even though he was playing with an injury. Robby had a fantastic match scoring 12 points. Jig, Sam and Bryan also scored a good number of points in what was quite an even spread of scores amongst the first team.

This was a great team result from the Cobras-1 squad, with a big home crowd to cheer them on. Thanks to all the players (on both sides), the coaches, volunteers, table officials and referees for a great match.

The next Cobras-1 match is away to the Manchester Mavericks on Saturday 28/3/09. There is a late tip-off for this match at 7.00 pm. So it will be a late drive back from Manchester.
