Cape Cobras captain Piedt excited for first full season
CAPE TOWN – The Cape Cobras are alive again. Laughter and smiles abound at training, and the players are all hard at work.
It is basically normal service resumed, but considering where this team was last year at the same time, it is a startling renaissance. At the fore-front of this new beginning is coach Ashwell Prince and captain Dane Piedt.
Both are entering their first full seasons in their respective positions, after taking over halfway through last year’s chaos. They both have a burning desire to get the Cobras competing for trophies that once regularly adorned the Newlands cabinet, but are fully aware of the hard work that lays ahead. The toil begins this weekend with a pre-season trip to Oudtshoorn, where the Cobras will face the Warriors in two two-day games.
“I cannot wait for the season to start,” Piedt said. “I’m really excited. We will be looking to get some mileage in the bowlers’ legs and the batters some time in the middle.
