Cobra Men, Women Punch VYC Playoff Tickets; Top-2 Finishes
The Cobra Men finished the regular season with an incredible 21-1 record; one of the best regular season marks in league history. Looking to advance to the championship game for a third straight season, the Cobras have established themselves as clear-cut favourites for the title in 2025, finishing the regular season with the league’s top ranked offence and defence, boasting an average winning-margin of 22 points per game.
Boasting a returning core group from their past two title game runs, the Cobras depth has been unmatched in 2025; seven players averaging over nine points per game, with head coach Zac Wuersching utilising his full roster to routinely overwhelm opposing teams on a regular basis. With the #1 seed clinched, the Cobras will look to advance to a home preliminary final when they host the Casey Cavaliers on Saturday night, in a rematch of last year’s preliminary final. In their 2024 postseason showdown, the Cobras came from 17 points down to win in a one point classic, with Saturday’s showdown set to electrify once again.
The Cobra Women return to the postseason for the first time since 2023, finishing the season with the league’s second best record at 17-5. Kilsyth needed a pair of wins in the final round of play to lock in a top-two finish, and they delivered with spectacular performances over the Frankston Blues and Dandenong Rangers to earn a first round finals home game.
The Cobras are led by an ultra-talented starting group, boasting the league’s leading scorer in Hannah Day (19.6ppg), star point guard Georgia McBean (5.3apg, 2nd in league; 15.4ppg, 14th) dominant paint presence Lily Exton (15.7rpg, 1st in league; 18.4ppg, 3rd) and defensive ace Krystal Arnason (1.6bpg, 4th in league; 9.0rpg, 8th). Their star quartet has been well supported by the likes of Olivia Jennings and Katie Wilson, with the Cobras versatility and explosive scoring potential setting them up for an exciting postseason push. Head coach Michael Walsh’s team faces the Keilor Thunder in a #2 vs #3 showdown at home on Saturday night, with the two teams splitting a pair of regular season outings in close finishes.
With a pair of home preliminary final berths on the line for your Cobras, Saturday night promises to be a thrilling, and intense night of home hoops. Tickets are selling fast - click here to secure your seat.
