 Football Club was first discussed in a meeting in the Staff Room of Governor Phillip King Primary School in 1990 between Steve Stretton and John Dunn.

Established in 1991, the first Season featured teams in the U/7, U/8, U/10, U/11 and U/13 competitions.

The year 2000 saw the Club celebrate its 10th anniversary with a special commemorative jersey being produced, which each player in the 2000 season kept as a special momento.

In 2001 the Cobras became a sub club of Cabra-Vale Diggers, and changed their name to CVD Cobras. This saw the addition of yellow to the clubs traditional colours of red and blue.

Since their inception, the cobras have proved they are a club not to be taken lightly, with at least one team reaching the Grand Finals in every season

Recent years

Often regarded as a junior club, the Cobras in recent years have ventured into the C Grade competition where they have won the 2nd Division competition in 2007 and 2008. The 2009 season sees the inauguration of the Cobras to the 2nd Division A Grade competition. The club now fields teams in every age group from U/6's to A Grade. They have won the Parramatta Club Of The Year Award in 2006, 2007 and were a finalist in 2008.

Club Colours/Jersey
