Five from five for the only unbeaten team in the First Division – that is the story of the EP Kings' season thus far as they are still well on track to defend their title.

The EP Kings beat the second placed team on the log, the Boland Cavaliers, 23-17 in Port Elizabeth on Friday to open up a gap at the top of the standings, even though the team from Wellington have a game in hand.

SWD Eagles, who beat the Valke 24-15 in George on Friday, are third on the log and also have played only four games thus far. These three teams are currently comfortably in the lead in the top half of the First Division log.

In the bottom half, the Border Bulldogs remain in last place even though they beat the Griffons 26-21 in East London on Friday. It was the Bulldogs' first victory for 2011. The Valke and Griffons, like Border on five league points, are higher on the log thanks to a better points’ difference.
