Bezuidenhout to lead Kings against Griquas

The Eastern Province Kings will face the Griquas in Kimberly on Wednesday with an almost completely new team, with just one position unchanged in the starting lineup.

Head Coach Barend Pieterse announced the much changed team as the Kings prepare for their upcoming match in Kimberly just four days after a tough hit out against Western Province at the Nelson  Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.

Pieterse has appointed Martin Bezuidenhout as captain, giving Ricky Schroeder and  Mike Willemse, both of whom led the team on the weekend, a rest ahead of the EP Kings match against the Toyota Free State Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
