Monarchs only need to win their next 3 matches to qualify for the Play-off Final. Hope Sedgy doesn't tire himself out at Glasgow in the afternoon.

STELLAR MONARCHS: Justin Sedgmen (guest), Lasse Fredriksen, Kye Thomson, Paco Castagna, Josh Pickering (captain), Dayle Wood, Bastian Borke.

ATTIS INSURANCE SCORPIONS: Ryan Douglas, Connor Mountain, Simon Lambert, Jake Allen, Michael Palm Toft, Nathan Ablitt, Drew Kemp.

Sedgmen didn't tire himself out, thankfully.

Do the mini leagues not count as play offs? I see Sedgmennwas guesting for Redcar this afternoon and for Monarchs tonight. Hopefully, he’ll ride better tonight than he did this afternoon. 

Each mini league is classed as a seperate entity so riders can guest for one team in each

More depressing viewing for Monarchs fans. One of the lowest crowds I've ever seen at a senior meeting at Armadale.

Do they deliberately make the track as difficult as possible for the home riders? Track was perfect last night but back to being slippery again tonight.

Same for both sides though and Edinburgh are not at the races. Very poor.

Can anybody explain to me why Dayle Wood is taking the team spot of a British youngster?

I can't understand why Wood has a Champ team spot, as there MUST be stronger British riders out there.

I often get told, they are not willing to travel up, but unless the club posts a list of riders, who were unwilling to sign for them, have to blame them for not signing someone stronger!

..proving the Championship Play-offs format is seriously flawed. 1v4. 2v3 means at least all playoff teams are competitive

It's not every year the top 5 are so far ahead of the bottom 4. But yes, the less teams in the play-offs the better! Personally I think it's a bit rediciulous finishing 6th of 9 gives you a shot at the title!

Even if they weren't stronger, British and bad would be preferable to foreign and bad. They do have an academy but still elect not to track a single British rider now Craig Cook appears to have left the scene!

Alex Spooner would have been the obvious pick, had he not got injured.

I also feel riders like Danny Phillips & Greg Blair (before injury) surely wouldn't have said Edinburgh is too far when they race for Berwick?

They're not exactly strong 2.00 riders, but would score more than Wood.
