To ensure their second season is a resounding success that ends in finals football the Cobras are getting the ball rolling early in the hope of improving their impressive, albeit inconsistent, inaugural season in 2020.
Adam Parker, crucial to the inception of the Cobras, and a star defender on the field is chomping at the bit to get back on the field.
"Last season was the first time all these boys had come together to play in the same team and the penny began to drop at the end of the season," said Parker.
"We knew last year would be a building year and this year is where we can begin to challenge for the title."
Parker was also pleased to announce that Meaghan Kempson will continue as coach for the 2021 season.
"The boys are excited to have coach Kempson back onboard again and are determined to put all her hard work into practice."
Kempson boasts a rather impressive resume despite her relatively youthful age; having coached a variety of teams all the way up to the NSW Country level.
Kempson also recently returned from a week shadowing the Head Coach of the Young Matildas, Leah Blayney - who is a Blue Mountains product - in what should give rise to even more rapid development from the technical-savvy and passionate Cobras coach.
