Winless Kings lose another captain

By Online Editors
Monday 22 Sep 2014

The captaincy curse has struck the winless Eastern Province Kings again, with another skipper sidelined.


Steven Sykes will join Luke Watson in the sickbay and will not be on duty the against the Sharks in Durban on Saturday, according to the Kings medical team.


Sykes will be missing the upcoming game due to a knee injury that he sustained during the loss to the Free State Cheetahs last Saturday.


Prop Lizo Gqoboka, who will be joining the Springbok training squad this week, has been ruled out for selection against the Sharks this weekend with a shoulder injury.


Also of concern is tighthead prop Tom Botha, who sustained an elbow injury during the Cheetahs match.


While he has not been ruled out for selection, Botha has gone for x-rays and will be re-evaluated on Wednesday.
