Taking to the crease first after being sent in by Gayzer's the Cobras finished their 30 overs with a very respectable 4/143.
Hugo Emery (13) and Oscar Roberts (44) opened the batting for Cobras with Oscar taking to the Gayzer bowlers, smashing eight fours to record the highest score of the innings.
His 44 sits alongside scores of 31 against Ray White and 40 against Titans already this season. Oscar hasn't been dismissed on any of his three times at the crease this season.
Hugo also carried his bat for the second time this season, his only dismissal coming in round one of the season.
Also among the runs were Ben Piffero (21 not out), Riley Meale (13) and Rupert Tait (22 not out) in his first walk to the middle this season.
Gus Smart (2), Ben Randall (3) and Oli Wilson (0) also spent time at the crease.
Gayzer's lost six wickets in their successful run chase, reaching the target of 145 in 27.5 overs lead by top order batsmen Josh Cameron (33 not out), Nick Canellis (17 not out) and Archie Gay (35 not out).
Tait was the best of the bowlers for Cobras finishing with 2-10 off four overs. Gus Smart and Riley Meale took a wicket each with the remaining two wickets coming off run outs to Hugo Emergy and Rupert Tait.
Paul Bean was the standout batsmen for Cootamundra Titans in the match against Taylor Plumbing and Gas Fitting.
Bean finished his innings 36 not out after facing 49 deliveries in just over one and a half hours at the crease.
He was the steadying influence at the top of the order as wickets fell around him.
Fellow opener George Smith (0) and first drop batsman Reid McTavish (0) failed to trouble the scorer before Oli Hall (14), Corey Gale (17) and Archi Piffero (10) helped to steady the innings which closed over 28.4 overs with the score at 106.
Titans used nine bowlers in their gallant attempt to restrict the scoring from Taylor Plumbing taking seven wickets before the target was passed in the 25th over.
Paul Bean was again the standout taking three wickets, including the wicket of opener Joe Roberts.
Bean's bowling cost just five runs off three very economical overs.
Oli Hall finished with two for 19 runs and Archi Piffero and S Louttit took a wicket each.
Reid McTavish, Paul Bean and Archi Piffero each took a catch.
This weekend Titans are at home to Temora at Clarke Oval and Cobras will enjoy the bye.
