Sykes cleared for Sharks clash

Eastern Province Kings lock and captain, Steven Sykes can be considered for their Absa Currie Cup clash against the Cell C Sharks this weekend following the outcome of his SARU Judicial Hearing earlier today.


The hearing took place via teleconference and advocate Robert Stelzner acted as the Judicial Officer.

Sykes received two yellow cards in their clash against the Steval Pumas last Friday in Port Elizabeth. The first in the 35th minute for charging into a ruck and tackling a Pumas player dangerously above the shoulders, which also resulted in a try being cancelled just before half-time. The second was an off-field yellow card for alleged foul play.

Advocate Stelzner ruled that the two yellow cards were sufficient and that no further sanction should be imposed on the player.
