His Bulldogs counterpart Dale Sabbagh, meanwhile, slotted over two penalties in five minutes in the second half to take a 6-3 lead in the 52nd minute. The teams continued to battle it out for the next 20 minutes, but a mistake by the visitors handed Dukisa another shot at goal, which left the teams level on 6-6 with nine minutes to go. Dukisa, however, saved the day as his drop goal attempt in the dying minutes proved successful for a 9-6 victory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scorers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>EP Kings<\/strong> 9 (3) \u2013 Penalties: Ntabeni Dukisa (2).
