After a disappointing loss to Kenya’s Tusker Simbas n Cape Town last week the Kings managed to restore a bit of balance to the world with a large victory over the Birder Bulldogs on Rhodes Universities Great Field in Grahamstown this past Saturday.
Border lead briefly 3-0 at the outset after an early Jeffrey Taljaard penalty against the Kings but the Kings struck back almost immediately with right winger, Eben Barnard scoring.
From then the Kings scored almost at will, ending the first half 30 points ahead of the Bulldogs (36-6).
The 60-6 victory placed the Kings onto the South Section points log with 6 points and in 4th position.
By all acounts the rugby produced by the Kings was a running rugby spectacle.

- EP Kings: Tries: Eben Barnard, Coyi Banda (2), Brian Skosana (2), Dwayne Kelly, Ivan-John du Preez, Selvyn Davids, Sonwabo Majola; Conversions: Ntabeni Dukisa (5), Dwayne Kelly (1); Penalties: Ntabeni Dukisa (1).
