COBRAS OFF TO A STRONG START

The Newcastle gridiron team has won its first game of the season, using its home ground advantage to beat Nepean in round six over the weekend.

Jacob Meers got the Cobras off to a flying start with a solo effort in the first half.

Mark Legge showed plenty of power in defence, then scored the easiest of touchdowns after the break.

Wide receiver Max Nina then made his mark, grabbing two long range passes, the second leading to another Cobras touchdown.

Newcastle eventually finished in front, 24 points to six.
