COBRA proved a class apart as the Meifod club opened their second division campaign with a resounding derby victory at home to local rivals Welshpool.
Pool’s testing start to the season continued as their hosts ran out convincing winners, running home eight tries to claim a bonus point and ensure a winning start to the campaign.
Will Worthington starred, crossing for two tries while kicking seven conversions as COBRA eased to an emphatic win.
Steve Isaac also crossed for a brace of tries with the hosts count completed by Lloyd Bright, Aled Humphreys, Richard Jones and Matthew Jones.
Pool replied with a try from Harry Davies, converted by Tom Williams, but it was to prove consolation as the Meifod side dominated the early season derby.
