Kent Kings are celebrating their first-ever National League victory after beating Buxton Hitmen 55-38 at Central Park on Monday night.

It was their first National League success in five attempts and only their third win in 18 meetings in all competitions this season.

Captain Steve Boxall claimed a 15-point maximum, including a heat 13 win which clinched overall victory for Kent.

Benji Compton (11) and Ben Morley (11+1) offered solid back-up to the skipper with Kings fans celebrating as though they had won the league.
