Football is not about winning. The Cobras have played some good football this season, and despite losing 13 games against strong opposition they remained upbeat and energetic. On Saturday their last match was against local rivals Summertown Eagles, who have had a better season and won their previous encounter 6-5. It was a heated battle in the sunshine over Cutteslowe Park. In the first half of the first match, the Cobras showed some lovely attacking play and two goals by Hamish Harrison-Cushing put them in front. However, the Eagles pushed back in the second half, and were unlucky to hit the cross-bar. The second match started with the same intensity as the first. A stunning long-range strike by David White gave the Cobras a three-goal cushion. But the Eagles kept pressing forward, and Tommy Bleakley rifled the ball into the Cobras goal to make it 3-1. In the final half, both teams gave it everything. Another long-range effort by David White restored the three-goal lead for Cobras. Laurie Cooke clawed one back late on, but time ran out and the Cobras could celebrate their first victory of the season. Final score: Summertown Cobras 4 v 2 Summertown Eagles.
