Capital City Cobras dominate regionals, eye glory at national championships

Four in a row! No, not the board game, but Capital City Cobras’ impressive winning streak on the netball court. 

This month, the team were once again crowned London Regional Netball Champions, securing the title for the fourth consecutive year after another dominant display at Redbridge Sports Centre. The achievement further solidifies the Cobras’ reputation as one of the strongest college netball teams in the capital.

Competing against three other colleges from across London, the Cobras delivered a n outstanding performance, topping the group with a clean sweep of victories in all their matches, commanding a 14–1 win over Leyton Sixth Form, a decisive 21–0 victory against Uxbridge College and an 18–2 win over Newham College to secure the championship title.

The netball team’s success was matched by an equally impressive showing from Capital City College’s table tennis players, who excelled at the regional table tennis championships. Representing the King’s Cross campus, the athletes demonstrated exceptional skill, focus and consistency against tough opposition.

Student athlete Nam Hoang delivered a standout performance to claim the men’s regional college title, and in the women’s competition, Liana Shilani Tousi was crowned women’s regional champion. Further podium finishes followed, with Elijah Auguste earning a well-deserved silver medal and Noor Binnur securing bronze to add to the college’s growing medal collection.

Thanks to these outstanding achievements, the Cobras netball team, alongside table tennis stars Nam Hoang, Liana Shilani Tousi and Elijah Auguste, have all qualified for the Association of Colleges (AoC) National Championships, set to take place in Nottingham next April. They will be joined by the CCC basketball team, who will also represent the London region at this prestigious college sports competition.

Robert Murphy, Sports Development Manager at Capital City College, praised the students’ achievements and highlighted the consistency of performance across multiple sports. He said: “We are hugely proud of all our students for their outstanding performances at the Regional Championships, with excellent victories in netball and table tennis, following on from our team’s success in basketball. We are delighted to be crowned Regional Champions for the fourth year in a row and to once again have a strong presence at the National Championships.”

Netball player Korede Yusuf echoed that sense of pride while also looking ahead to the challenges to come. Reflecting on the team’s performance, she said: “Regionals went really well. We secured wins in all our games with strong score differences and fought all the way to the end. Even though we won, we know there’s more we can improve on as a team. Next step, nationals!”

With multiple teams and athletes heading to Nottingham riding a wave of success, confidence and momentum, CCC’s sporting heroes are well placed for another strong showing on the national stage next spring. Their achievements reflect not only their individual talent, but also the dedication, teamwork and support provided by the sports programmes at CCC.
