With Cobra, nothing is ever taken for granted. This a team that knows exactly what it wants. For every match there is a game plan that meets head-on the challenge of Cobra opponents.

So when Cobra face off against SMS Old Boys on Saturday at the SMSS field in Cheras, losing seems an unlikely prospect. For Cobra, the match is its last on the MRU Super League calendar and victory will hand it the title.

Last weekend at the KGV Field in Seremban, Cobra overcame their toughest hurdle in defeating defending champions NS Wanderers 21-12. Both teams had been tied with eight points each until that encounter with Wanderers on top of the standings on better goal difference.

Cobra team manager Kapt. Nazerudin Borhan said that SMS Old Boys can expect no favours from his side. “It may be our last match but we will not be letting down our guard.

“We beat Old Boys 63-0 in the first round. Despite this, we will play for a win. The shoreline does not really matter. The boys are highly motivated after the match against NS Wanderers and you can expect them to troop into the field expecting to perform at nothing but their best,” Nazerudin explained.

Cobra will field their best and again, the team will meet the game plan for an opponent such as SMS old Boys. For SMS Old Boys - noting the highly motivated state of the Cobra side - the match could prove a nightmare. This is moreso considering the thumping they received the last time round.

If Cobra triumph in this last match of the season, it will be the third time that they have been crowned champions in the MRU Super League. Cobra were champions in 2000, 2001 and 2003. NS Wanderers won in 2002 and 2004.

In other matches to be played, Staroba take on NS Wanderers at the Star grounds in Ipoh while Blackhawks face off against JLJ DiRaja at Jalan Bellamy.

The National Inter-Club tourney had ended with Bandaraya Dragons having convincingly beaten Pulapol 56-5 in the final last weekend.
