Pre-Match Report: Cobra U18 vs BASSDARTS U18: Girls Prepare for Crucial Away Clash

After the festive break, the BASSDARTS U18 Girls resume their league campaign with an important away fixture against COBRA — the combined U18 team of Old Colfeians, Old Alleynians and Blackheath. Currently sitting 3rd in the league, BASSDARTS face a side placed 6th, making this a key opportunity to consolidate their position near the top.

The match will take place at the Old Colfeians Rugby Club on Sunday 11 January 2026. Forecasters predict light rain with temperatures around 11°C (52°F), meaning the players will need to adapt to slippery conditions and a damp ball, making handling, precision, and tactical kicking crucial.

After a strong first half of the season, BASSDARTS are looking to continue their momentum, building on the early season wins and competitive performances that have seen them climb the table. Meanwhile, COBRA will be keen to create an upset on their home patch, promising a fast-paced, physical encounter.

Supporters can expect a tight, competitive clash, with both sides aiming to assert dominance early and take full advantage of any mistakes in the predicted conditions. BASSDARTS will be relying on teamwork, discipline, and composure to navigate the challenges posed by both the opposition and the winter weather.
