Cobras pit their wares for success

Sandown Cobras are on the hunt for their third premiership in five years.

Having played in the past four FIDA League grand finals, the Cobras are seeking male and female players aged 16 to 40-plus with a disability to continue their glittering success.

In recent years, players have also gained state selection.

Coach Doug West says the Edinburgh Reserve-based club is like a family.

His passion has been to get kids outside playing sport over the past 50 years.

“There’s a chance for them to do things and further themselves.”

One principle of the club is to treat everyone as equals.

“We’re very strict on discipline, to make sure everyone does what they’re told.

“We want them to respect each other, as well as other players, umpires and supporters.”

The season of modified-rules AFL is played on Sundays between April-September.

Training runs on Mondays and Wednesdays, 5pm-6.30pm at Edinburgh Reserve, Springvale.

Details: Doug West on 0407 837 667 or Hannah Sacks 0402 012 513 or hannahsacks@hotmail.com
