gmuncie Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Another tough encounter for the Monarchs with Worrall, Morris and Howarth among the better riders in the league at Armadale not to mention the Thompson boys who both impressed last year Rowe misses out with Kyle Bickley stepping in and the Monarchs at full strength looking to bounce back from that home defeat last time out Fir those that can’t make live stream can be purchased here https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/emtv/live/RFO2Dijnn Friday 13th May: Edinburgh Monarchs v Leicester Lions (Championship), Armadale, 7:30pm WTF MONARCHS: Sam Masters (capt.), Lasse Fredriksen, Paco Castagna, Kye Thomson, Josh Pickering, Jacob Hook, James Sarjeant.

Teromaafan Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Rowe absent again. Does anyone know what his 'illness' is and how long he will be unavailable for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Really need the lower order to step up tonight if we want to win this one. The lions have a very strong too 3 round Armadale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Really hoping the Monarchs win this, strange as it is from a Glasgow fan, might even be a first for me, will be watching the stream, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Think it will be close but the monarchs to edge it. Think the difference will be simply masters and Pickering. But I do think it will be close ! Wonder what reception ritchy will get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanAndersen Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Should be a tight meeting but hopefully the boys have just enough to come out on top. Bickley guesting probably helps the Monarchs tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lions have a very strong too 3 round Armadale. Pretty much crucial that they do just that. Looking at latest green sheets and current form - limiting Leicester to just 1 league point would be a success I reckon. In addition, our top two will have their work cut out against their top three who are all capable of double figure returns. Potentially the best match this season so far as the day's' decent weather appears to favour ideal track conditions.

From looking at that result you lack a 3rd heat leader..the difference tonight was pack up against worral, Morris and howarth..no match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One small positive of late is that Thomson is scoring better. Not enough to be considered a heat leader but better. Sergeant is very hot and cold which isn’t what we need at all.

40-38 Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Lions rode really well. Some bad luck for Monarchs which made it harder to keep in touch, but they rely very heavily on Masters and Pickering (nod to Kye Thomson too who looks a good prospect) and the rest didn't really look great. I want to say as well that I paid to watch on Monarchs TV and I was impressed by how good the presentation was, I'll certainly do that again.

Just 9 points and 2 bonus from 4 Monarchs on their home track is not a statistic to remember fondly - even against a title challenging team like Leicester. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Against a team with weak tail away from home that's a worry. Sarj maybe too many sleepless nights, poor time to have a bad night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishersGate Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 From a lions fan I didn't see us winning by that score. Thomson twins have struggled away from home and have missed Rowe tonight as well...reverse is a concern for you lot . 2 best riders in the league for Edinburgh and the rest are miles off in that team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
