Match Reviews | There is a new ladder leader following a hotly contested Saturday and Round 8 marked the week one team would get that elusive win on the board.
Scoop reviews all the action from last round.
The Cobras’ top end brigade has nurtured a largely inexperienced group to its first win of the season under new coach Jason Williams.
Jake Owen (four goals) was the star of the show, claiming best on ground honours ahead of Alex Porter, Jack Parente, Callum Smith, Xavier Jenks and the returning Rhys McNay for his first game at the level this year.
Veteran Tyson Shea had some 20 plus tackles at the coalface while ruckman Luke Goetz recorded in excess of 70 hit-outs to deny Lakers big man Shane Finlayson his way around stoppage.
Scores were level at half time in a low scoring affair before the Cobras added five goals to the Lakers’ three in the second half to finish in front on the final siren much to the delight of the Cobras’ loyal band of travelling supporters.
