- 27 February 2011: The EP Kings sign the former SWD Eagles loose forward Jacques Engelbrecht.[8]
- 4 March 2011: The EP Kings made it two wins out of two by beating the Leopards in Potchefstroom. They won 31-25, after the scores were level on 19-19 at half-time. The try scorers were Norman Nelson, Barend Pieterse and Mpho Mbiyozo. Two conversions and three penalties by Monty Dumond and a Jaco van Schalkwyk penalty rounded off the scoring.[9]
- 11 March 2011: The EP Kings were deducted the 9 points gained in their first two Vodacom Cup games for fielding Jacques Coetzee and Hannes Franklin, who were deemed ineligible since they had no clearance certificate following their transfers from the Pumas. A R15 000 fine was also imposed for fielding these players in two of the Southern Kings' games.[10] The Kings have lodged an appeal against this decision, which ultimately proved unsuccessful.
On the pitch, they beat the Pumas 23-8 with tries from Marcello Sampson and Matthew Tayler-Smith, with Jaco van Schalkwyk adding 13 points with the boot.[11] - 17 March 2011: The EP Kings team for the upcoming game against the Falcons was named and included former player Wayne van Heerden, who returned to the team after a spell playing for Suntory Sungoliath in the Japanese Top League.[12]

- 19 March 2011: The EP Kings beat the Falcons 51-0 in Vanderbijlpark to make it 4 wins in the row in the 2011 Vodacom Cup. They went top of the table, but with a points deduction still looming, this might be a false position. The try-scorers on the day were Norman Nelson and Devin Oosthuizen with a brace each, while Darron Nell, Marcello Sampson, Siyanda Grey and Morné Hanekom each also got a try. Jaco van Schalkwyk added 4 conversions and a penalty.[14]

- 30 March 2011: Eastern Province Kings are officially the 9 deducted points they gained in their first two Vodacom Cup games for fielding ineligible players, as well as fined R15 000 for fielding these players in two Southern Kings friendly games.

- 2 April 2011: The EP Kings lose their second consecutive game, losing 29–28 to the Blue Bulls. Tries from Norman Nelson, SP Marais and Frank Herne and 13 points from the boot of Jaco van Schalkwyk weren't enough in this game. This result leaves the Kings in second last place on the log, with only an outside chance of making the quarter-finals.[19]
- 9 April 2011: The EP Kings returned to winning ways, beating the Griquas 26–16 at Grey High School, Port Elizabeth.
