3 June 2007 -

This past Sunday the Kings played a double-header against the Croydon Pirates. In their first 8 games of the season, Croydon only allowed 9 runs against. The Kings managed to notch up 10 runs all together on Sunday, which is impressive considering the quality of the Croydon pitching staff. Unfortunately, despite some excellent pitching from Masa Egawa, Simon Kim, Kyle Kalkwarf, and Paul Boland, the Kings were not able to contain the extremely strong Croydon batting line-up. Despite holding the score close for the first few innings of both games, the Kings were defeated by 17 runs to 7 in the first game, and 19 runs to 3 in the second game.

Croydon now have a huge lead at the top of the National League standings. The Kings still hold the top position in the Premier League, but are only 1 game ahead of 3 other teams. One of those teams is the Croydon Pilots (Croydon's 2nd team), who we play this coming Sunday in another double-header fixture at the Horspath diamond.
