The Kilsyth Workforcexs Cobras started the season off right by getting a win at home against Frankston Blues.
Adam Knott played a major role in both stats and leadership in helping the Kilstyh get their first win of the season. He score 15 points, had 8 rebounds and 7 assists; leading the Cobras in each catagory.
Stephen O’Brien and Josh Flink rounded out the other top scorers for the Workforcexs Cobras with 14 and 12 respectively. The balanced attack by the Kilsyth was too much for the Blues to handle.

In the second quarter the Cobras managed to take the lead, but the Blues fought back to take a one point lead at the half.
In the third quarter the Blues held onto their lead only to have a late three point shot by Arjen Smit (5 pts, 1 blk) following a missed free throw give the Cobras a four point lead heading into the final quarter.
In the fourth quarter the Cobras didn’t give their lead up for the entire quarter, repeling Frankston’s surge to guarantee their first victory at home.
