Vancouver Lions edge out Royal Kings in WKL

The two North American teams, Vancouver Lions and Royal Kings USA, which have been somewhat slow to start with were engaged in a tight clash before Vancouver Lions edged out Royal Kings in the Wave World Kabaddi League here today.
Vancouver Lions, who were tied at the end of first quarter and then pulled away to a handy by the end of third, survived narrowly before registering a 54-51 win as Royal Kings put up a great fight in the closing stages.
Arriving into Burlton Park, home of many a legend in Indian sport, the WKL was an immediate hit with the locals, who packed the stadium to capacity.

Vancouver Lions now have six points from six games and moved up on the table, while Royal Kings lie at the bottom with two points from eight matches.
Khalsa Warriors, who are the only unbeaten team so far have 13 points from six wins and one tie, while Lahore Lions, United Singhs and Yo Yo Tigers have eight each. But Lahore have played only five matches, while United have played six and Yo Yo have had seven outings.
