KINGS: WEEKEND BATTLE RESULTS

This past weekend the EP Kings were involved in 3 important matches as the senior side took on Border (franchise partners) in their final league match and the 2 junior sides (u19 & u21) were also involved in matches to determine their log position.

THE SENIOR SIDE:
The senior team had to not just overcome their rivals (Border) but also the bad weather conditions as the strong winds played a factor during the match.  The Kings however coming from the windy city were able to come out as the victors as they beat the Bulldogs 38 points to 20 in East London.

After the other results of the weekend the final log is as follow:
Pos Team P Pts
1 Pumas.....................14.............66
2 EP Kings..................14............51
3 Leopards..................14............44
4 SWD Eagles.............14............41
5 Boland Kavaliers......14............32
6 Griffons ...................14............27
7 Border Bulldogs.......14............25
8 Falcons.....................14............18

This means that the four teams qualifying for the semi finals are Pumas, Kings, Leopards & Eagles with position 1 (pumas) taking on position 4 (Eagles) in Nelspruit and poition 2 (kings) taking on position 3 (Leopards) in Port Elizabeth.  With rumours of the Curriecup expanding it seems as if the Kings and the Pumas will be the two teams promoted to the expanded (8team) competition next year.
